We have been given that the scale on a trail map is 0.5 cm : 1 km. The straight distance between 2 huts on the trail is 16.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between 2 huts.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.





Therefore, the actual distance between both huts is 33.8 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x² - 10x - 2
a = 3
b = -10
c = -2
D = b² - 4ac
D = (-10)² - 4.3.(-2)
D = 100 + 24
D = 124
