Question

Employees of the store wear shirts with a triangle with a base of 1.5 and a height of 1.5. The model to the logo ratio is 1:8. What is the area of the logo on the shirts?

Answer 1

To find the area of the logo on the shirts, you can first calculate the area of the triangular logo, and then adjust it according to the given model-to-logo ratio.

1. Calculate the area of the triangular logo:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 1.5 * 1.5
Area = 1.125 square units

2. Apply the model-to-logo ratio:
If the ratio is 1:8, then for every 1 unit of logo on the shirt, there are 8 units on the model.

So, to find the area of the logo on the shirts, you multiply the logo's area by 8:
Adjusted Logo Area = 1.125 square units * 8 = 9 square units

The area of the logo on the shirts is 9 square units.
