Tim wants to model a dollhouse from a real house that measures 60 feet in length by 28 feet in width. He decides to use a scale in which 1/4 inch equals 1 foot. What will the dimensions of his model be?1. What will be the length of the longer side of Tim's model? inches
2. What will be the length of the shorter side of Tim's model? inches

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Therefore,

Length of the longer side = 60 foot

= 0.25 × 60

= 15 inches.

2.

1/4 inch = 1 foot

Therefore,

Length of the shorter side = 28 foot

= 0.25 × 28

= 7 inches.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
