Draw the triangle and you will see that a = b. The tangent of 45 degrees is when both the opposite and adjacent sides of the 45-degree angle at origin are equal. ... A line at 45 degrees to the x-axis is also at 45 degrees to the y-axis because 45 degrees bisects the 90-degree<span> angle between the two axes.

Part A
If 2 inches is 25 miles, then you can set up a ratio to find how many inches 60 miles is.
2 inches equaling 25 miles would be 2:25 in a ratio form of inches:miles.
If miles equals 60, then the ratio would be x:60 in inches:miles.
Since both sides must have the same thing done to them, divide 60 by 25 to see how much miles was multiplied by to get to 60, then multiply inches by that to get x.
60 / 25 = 2.4
2 • 2.4 = 4.8
So the answer to part A is 4.8 inches represent 60 miles.
Part B
You can do the same concept for Part B.
1/4 = 0.25
In a ratio of inches:miles, this would be 0.25:x
Since the original ratio is 2:25, you must figure out how many times 1/4 goes into 2.
2 = 2/1 = 4/2 = 8/4
So 1/4 goes into 2, which can be represented by 8/4, 8 times.
This means 2 was divided by 8 to get 0.25.
Now divide 25 by 8 to get x.
25 / 8 = 3.125
So the answer to part B is 3.125 miles are represented by 1/4 inch.
