Jessi asked in Science & MathematicsMathematics Β· 1 decade ago

math question? 10 points?

T-rex Human

wieght 8100 kilograms 90 kilograms

hieght 6 meters 2 meters

skull 100 cm 20 cm

teeth 15 cm 1 cm

question is if a baby T-rex was the same height as a human what would the scale factor be between the grown one and the baby?

how long were it's teeth? (baby)

how long was the skull? (baby)

so i thought if it were the same hieght as human 2cm i would divid its height by the adult dino. which makes 3. then i would divid all the numbers as the adult dino to get the babys. is that right?

so his teeth would be 5 cm and it's head would be 33.3? thank you

    6/2 = 3 is the scale factor

    teeth = 15/6 = 2.5

    2.5 * 2 = 5

    skull = 100/6 = 16.67

    16.67 * 2 = 33.33

    So you seem to be right! (don't quote me though.. i am not 100% sure.. both of us could be wrong :)
