Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular, they create 4 90° angles. Meaning, in this case, that m<DBC = 90 and m<DBA = 90.
We're given that m<DBE = 2x - 1 and that m<CBE = 5x - 42.
The sum of angles DBE and CBE = m<DBC = 90°
We can add the two angles and set it equal to 90 to find x
Answer:
-1/7 y + 1/7 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Can also be written as
1/7 x - 1/7 y
The answer is that it's a right triangle. One angle is 90°
Answer
The scale factor is
Explanation
We have to ways to find the scale factor here:
1. Find the unit fraction from inches to miles; in other words, we need to divide the distance between the cities on the map (in inches) by the actual distance between the cities.
We can conclude that the scale factor is
2. Let be the scale factor.
We know form our problem that 24 miles times the scale factor is equal 4 1/2 inches, so we can set up an equation an solve for :
Just like before, we can conclude that the scale factor is
B.
Answer
6 inches separate the cities on the map
Explanation
We know that our scale factor is 1/4 inch = 1 mile, so we can create a conversion factor to convert 24 miles to inches. Since we need to convert from miles to inches, the denominator of our conversion factor must be 1 mile so we can cancel miles out. Notice that we can also express 1/4 inch as 0.25 inch to simplify our calculations:
We can conclude that if the conversion factor is 1/4 inch = 1 mile, 6 inches separate the cities on the map.
