1. A 1965 Ford Mustang has a length of 181.6 inches, a width of 68.2 inches, and a height of 51.1 inches.




        What would be the dimensions, to the nearest tenth of an inch, of a 1965 Ford Mustang if it was reduced in size to fit on a 1.5 inch wide toy car track?

      2. Tipis were used for homes by the Plains Indians because of their nomadic life styles. The tripod poles were set up before the rest of the tipi could be assembled. In the diagram, S represents the south tripod pole, N represents the north tripod pole, and D represents the door tripod pole. A large family would fit in a tipi about 26 feet tall with the tripod poles placed in an isosceles triangle with two of the tripod poles placed in the south to north direction. The height of the tipi and distances between the poles are given in the table below.

        Tipi height
        S to D
        N to D
        S to N
        26'
        23' 10"
        23' 10"
        22' 3"


        Will a small scale model of one of these tipis fit on a museum table top of diameter 8' 4", with a ceiling clearance of 5 feet if the scale factor is ? Show your work.
