The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Map distance = 7\frac{1}{4} inches = \frac{29}{4}\ inches

Scale used;

\frac{1}{2}\ inches = 40\ miles

Multiplying both sides by 2

2*\frac{1}{2}=40*2\\1\ inch = 80\ miles\\

Now,

\frac{29}{4}\ inches = \frac{29}{4}*80\\\\\frac{29}{4}=29*20\\\\\frac{29}{4}\ inches = 580\ miles

The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

I will give BRAINLIEST to the correct answer <br> Find the measure of angle 6.
True [87]

Answer:

m∠6 = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>first find x:</u>

7x - 17 = 2x + 78

subtract 2x from both sides: 5x - 17 = 78

add 17 to both sides: 5x = 95

divide by 5: x = 19

<u>plug x into 7x - 17</u>

7(19) - 17 = 116

∠6 and 7x - 17 are vertical angles and therefore congruent, so m∠6 also = 116°

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 69. What are the three numbers?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

21, 23, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so this one may seem a little tricky, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. :)

So because they are consecutive odd numbers, that means they are odd numbers that are one after the other. This means each number is 2 apart from the next. So by using this, we know that there is a difference of 6 between the highest and lowest number. Now let's try and make an equation:

3o + 6 = 69

Now in order to get O by itself we have to subtract 6 from both sides:

3o = 63

Now we just have to divide by three on both sides:

o = 21

So now, we know that the lowest number is 21, but we have to add 2 to get 23, and then another 2 to get 25.

Hope this helps :)
