The wright flyer was the first successful powered aircraft. a model was made to display in a museum with the length of 35 cm and a wingspan of about 66.9 cm. the length of the actual plane was 21 ft 1 in., and the height was 2.74 m. compare the length, height, and wingspan of the model to the actual plane and explain why any errors may occur. (round any calculations to the nearest whole number.)

We are given that:

Model [length = 35 cm; wingspan = 66.9 cm; height = ?]

Actual [length = 21 ft 1 in = 6.43 m; height = 2.74 m; wingspan = ?]

We can solve for the height of the model plane using the given values of the actual plane and by ratio and proportion:

35 cm / height model = 6.43 m / 2.74 m

height model = 14.9 cm

We can also solve for the wingspan of the actual plane:

35 cm / 66.9 cm = 6.43 m / wingspan actual

wingspan actual = 12.30 m

So we can see that the model is:

6.43 m (100 cm / m) / 35 cm = 18.37

18.37 times smaller than the actual plane

what are ur choices?

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
