PLEASE HELP! NO SPAMMING! SHOW WORK! The ratio of the dimensions of the model to the dimensions of the Great Pyramid is about 1 to 38. The surface area of the real pyramid is about how many times the surface area of the model.
Dimensions: a pyramid with a square base.
base sides: 6m
height: 4m

Explanation:

Consider a square on paper that is 3 inches by 3 inches. It's area would be 3*3 = 9 square inches.

The ratio 1 to 38 means that 1 inch on paper corresponds to 38 inches in real life (assuming the "1 to 38" doesn't have any verbal units attached to it; if so, then refer to the note below). So a 3 by 3 square corresponds to a 114 by 114 square because 3*38 = 114.

The area of the second larger square is 114*114 = 12,996 square inches.

Now divide the two areas: (12,996)/(9) = 1444

It's probably not entirely obvious, but through a bit of playing around with various numbers, you should find that 38^2 = 1444. It's not a coincidence that this happens. The linear scale factor is 38 which means the area scale factor is 38^2 = 1444.

In short, the larger square in real life has area that is 1444 times that of its scaled down counterpart.

Or put another way:

large area = 1444*(small area)

Side note: This all assumes that the numbers in "1 to 38" are both the same unit. If we had a mixed ratio of units like "1 inch to 38 feet", then the answer would be different. You would need to convert from feet to inches, and then follow the steps above to get a different answer.

the answer is 0.5 mpm

step-by-step explanation:

the line goes half way through the square each time (which is 0.5 or half of course) so that would mean its 0.5 mpm.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
