A customer has offered to pay extra if you will make one half the size called for in the plans. Take each of the 5 measures shown in the drawing and find half of the measure. Show your work to get full credit!
Answer:
new side 1 = 22⅝ in
For side 2:
New height = 2⅞
New base = 1⅔ in
New corner = 1 in
New side 3 = 18⅝ in
Explanation:
We are told that a customer has offered to pay extra if you will make one half the size called for in the plans.
Thus, we will divide each number by 2
We are given side 1 = 45 1/4 in = 45.25 in
New side 1 = 45.25/2 = 22.625
Converting to fraction form: new side 1 = 22⅝ in
We are given side 2 = (Gusset plate)
Height = 5¾ in = 5.75 in
New height = 5.75/2 = =2.875
Converting to fraction:
New height = 2⅞
Base = 3⅓ in = 3.33 in
New base = 3.33/2 = 1.66
Converting to fraction:
New base = 1⅔ in
Corner of side 2 is 2 inches thick
New corner = 2/2 = 1 in
side 3 (floor plate) = 37¼ in = 37.25 in
New side 3 = 37.25/2 = 18.625
Converting to fraction:
New side 3 = 18⅝ in
