5. A company is manufacturing models of the Eiffel Tower to sell in gift shops. If the model
needs to fit in a 1-foot tall box, and the
actual height of the tower is 984 feet,
which scale is best?
A. 1 inch = 50 feet
B. 4 inches
250 feet
C. 3 inches
200 feet
D. 2 inches = 175 feet

168

step-by-step explanation:

i am pretty sure that the answer is 168

2/3

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is equal to the rise/run. in this case the line rises 2 units for every +3 units it moves

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough
