Kenneth pose la question :

Hello:

Can you explain mathematically how the following scales become inches to feet?
For example, how does the scale of 1:160 become 1/16" = 1'?

(1:160) (1/16" = 1 foot) scale
(1:87) (1/8" = 1 foot) scale

I saw more of these different scale examples at the following:

Can determine if it is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral 2010-12-01
Jessie pose la question :
find the measures of the sides of triangle KPL and classify each triangle by its sides. my first problem would be K(-3,2) P(2,1) L(-2,-3) ...The three points they give you are the vertices of the triangle and you need to match them up. Draw the triangle and write in the vertices and the related point with the vertex. You will then do the distance formula three times to find the distance of all three sides. Once you have the three sides you can determine if it is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral...using the distance formula how do i solve this?

Scaling a logo 2008-10-20
Carl pose la question :
Hello! I hope that you can help me out here. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now and can't come up with the answer logically. I am a graphic designer by trade and need to figure out how large my client's logo should be. The logo will need to be sized proportionally with the surface area of the page. The logo will always be sized at 1.2938(w) x .75(h) on a letter size page (8.5 x 11).
My question is...
When you increase the size of the page (not always proportionally sized - dimensionally) how do figure out the NEW size of the logo. I could have a page 20" x 40" or 30' x 4'... or ANY size really. I believe I have the new surface area of the logo but can't find the new dimensions.

Scale factor 2008-05-28
Riley pose la question :
I have a math problem, and a big test coming up on Friday or Thursday (my teacher hasn't decided yet.) I need help understanding how I would do this problem. Here it is: they wanted me to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle when they only give me the scale factor. I've delt with scale factors before, but this is quite confusing. I have done the scale factor way by having a rectangle that maybe has a width of 10 and a height of 20, and I needed to find what the scale factor would be for a rectangle with the width of 5 and a height of 10. I know that they scale factor would be 2, right? But this just gives me the scale factor, and I have to FIND the perimeter and area. Hopefully you can get back to me tonight.

Resizing a polygon 2005-11-26
Anthony pose la question :
I am currently working on a mapping program in which polygons, rectangles, circles, etc... are rotated, moved, and resized. Recently, I used the rotation conversion formula to rotate the items n degrees/radians by using the point and the center point of the shape. Currently, I am working on resizing the shape (length and/or width) while still trying to maintain the integrity of the shape. I basically want to decrease or increase the y value by 1 in order to resize the length and I want to decrease or increase the x value by 1 in order to resize the width. The corresponding x and y values either increase by 1, stay the same, or decrease by 1. Is it possible to use just the point and center of the shape in order to calculate this resizing? What can I use to accomplish this task?

Musical Scales 2002-07-24
Terence pose la question :
Given that there are 12 notes in a musical octave, what is the maximum number of musical scales possible within that octave, if each scale has a minimum of 5 notes and a maximum of 9 and we start all the scales from the same note?

In case you don't know anything about music, a scale is a progression of notes where you start on a specific note and end on that same note an octave higher. There are twelve different notes between these two similar notes. Which notes you choose to play determine the sound of the scale. Anything less than five notes would not make for a very interesting scale. Anything more than nine and you would be playing almost 'every' note in the scale, not leaving much room for distinction in how you organize these notes.

I assume you first have to figure out the maximum number of variations possible in a 5-note scale (with 12 notes at your disposal). Then do the same for a 6-note scale, then a 7-note, then an 8-note, and so on. Then add up the results. How to find this maximum number of variations for each scale size though is what I don't know.
