Complete Question:
Johnny printed two maps of a walking trail near his home. The length of the walking trail on the first map is 8 cm.
(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm for the walking trail on the second map: ________cm.
(b) Determine the scale factor from the first map to the second map.
(c) A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. What are the side lengths of the triangle landmark on the second map?
(d) Draw one of the triangles from part C. Label the side lengths and vertices accordingly. You may use this drawing tool or draw your triangle on paper:
Answer:
(a) Length = 4cm
(b) Scale factor = 0.5
(c) 3cm, 4cm and 5cm are represented by 1.5cm, 2cm and 2.5cm respectively, on the second scale
(d) See attachment for triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm
<em>--- This is solely up to you (you can make use of any length between 5 cm and 15 cm)</em>
(b) The scale factor
The scale factor (k) is calculated as:
(c) What are side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm on the second landmark
Using:
The old lengths, in this case are: 3cm, 4cm and 5cm
Make New length the subject

When
So: 3cm, 4cm and 5cm are represented by 1.5cm, 2cm and 2.5cm respectively, on the second scale

For number 4, we'll need a few facts to answer our question:
- Two supplementary angles add up to 180°, forming a straight angle (the angle formed by a straight line)
- The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°
Given those, we notice that the one unlabeled angle in the figure shares a line with 156°. In fact, this angle is <em>supplementary</em> to 156°, which means that the two add up to 180°. To find the measure of this mystery angle, we can subtract 156 from 180 to obtain 180 - 156 = 24°.
Now, let's look at the triangle. We already know the measure of one of the angles is 24°, and the other two are x°. What else do we know about the angles of a triangle? From the two facts listed at the beginning, we know their interior angles add up to 180°, so let's use that fact to solve for x.
We have:
, or 
Solving for x:
So, x = 78°.
For question 5, the <em>definition</em> of a pair of parallel lines is a pair of lines which <em>never intersect</em>, so "always" would be the appropriate answer.
