A gry is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line, where line is another old English measure for length, defined as 1/12 inch. A common measure for length in the publishing business is a point, defined as 1/72 inch. What is an area of 0.68 gry2 in points squared?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.2448 point²

Explanation:

1 gry = 1/10 line

1 line = 1/12 inch

=> 1 gry in inches = 1/10 * 1/12 = 1/120 inch

=> 1 inch = 120 gry

1 point = 1/72 inch

=> 1 inch = 72 points

Therefore,

120 gry = 72 points

=> 1 gry = 3/5 point

Therefore,

1 gry² = (3/5)² point²

1 gry² = 9/25 point²

This means that 0.68 gry² will be:

0.68 gry² = 0.68 * 9/25 point²

=> 0.68 gry² = 0.2448 point²

The area of 0.68 gry2 is 0.2448 point2.

How do you calculate the area of 0.68 gry2 in points?

Given that A gry is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line. We can write this as given below.

[tex]1 \;\rm gry = \dfrac {1}{10}\;\rm line[/tex]

A line is another old English measure for length, defined as 1/12 inch. We can write this as given below.

[tex]1 \;\rm line = \dfrac {1}{12}\;\rm inch[/tex]

Thus the value of 1 gry in inches will be,

[tex]1 \;\rm gry = \dfrac {1}{10}\times \dfrac {1}{12} \;\rm inch[/tex]

[tex]1 \;\rm gry = \dfrac {1}{120}\;\rm inch[/tex]

[tex]120 \;\rm gry = 1\;\rm inch[/tex]

A common measure for length in the publishing business is a point, defined as 1/72 inch. We can write this as given below.

[tex]1 \;\rm point = \dfrac {1}{72}\;\rm inch[/tex]

[tex]72 \;\rm point = 1 \;\rm inch[/tex]

Now we can equate the values of 1 inch, we get the expression as,

[tex]120 \;\rm gry = 72 \;\rm point[/tex]

[tex]1 \;\rm gry = \dfrac {72}{120}\;\rm point[/tex]

[tex]1 \;\rm gry = 0.6 \;\rm point[/tex]

[tex](1\;\rm gry )^2 = (0.6 \;\rm point)^2[/tex]

[tex]1\;\rm gry ^2 = 0.36 \;\rm point^2[/tex]

We have the value of 1 gry2 in terms of point2. Thus,

[tex]0.68 \;\rm gry^2 = 0.68 \times 0.36 \;\rm point^2[/tex]

[tex]0.68\;\rm gry^2 = 0.2448 \;\rm point^2[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the area of 0.68 gry2 in points squared is 0.2448.
