Question
Please only any part (b), I have already answered (a)
8. Darcy is a welder who has been supplied with diagrams of the rectangular
bridge beams that she will make a
Pratt truss bridge.
a)
diagram of a beam that is 4 cm
deep, 15 cm wide, and 1.4 m
long. Darcy is told to make a
Darcy is supplied with a
second beam for another
project by enlarging the size of
the first beam by a scale of 1:25.
What would be the
measurements of the second
The old dimensions of the beam are:
Depth = 4Cm
Width = 15Cm
Length = 1.4M = 140Cm
The newer dimensions are made by enlarging it in the ratio of
1: 25
The newer dimensions are :
Let the new depth be 'd', new length = 1, new width = w
4/d = 1/25, => d= 4 x 25 = 100 Cm
15/w = 1/24,=> w= 15 x 25 = 375Cm
140/L = 1/25, => L= 140 x 25 =,3500Cm = 35m
beam?
b)
Darcy is given á scale diagram of the completed truss bridge. Each
vertical beam in the scale diagram is 3.5 cm long. If each beam was
drawn by reducing the dimensions of the first beam in a), what scale was
used?
