The greatest common factor is the largest factor that both terms share.

First, start with the coefficients, 14 and 28. The largest factor they both share is 14. 14 x 1 = 14, 14 x 2 = 28.

Next we move to the variables, abc and a²b²c³. The largest factor the both share is abc, all to the power of 1.

So, your GCF and final answer is 14abc

If 1 cm represents 30 km on a map and colorado is shown by a 20cm by 15 cm rectangle on the map, what is the approximate actual

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

20*30km = 600km

15*30km = 450km

600km * 450km = 270000 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming 1cm --- 30km causes that 2cm --- 60km, 3cm --- 90km, 4cm --- 120km etc. Notice that number of km's is 30 times greater than the number of cm's on a map

using this logic, you calculate both real dimensions of Colorado by multiplying 20*30 = 600 km and 15*30 = 450km

Then we use a formula of an area of a rectangle $A=a\cdot b$ assuming $a=600km, \ b=450km$ and get $A=600\cdot 450=270000km^2$ which is an actual area of Colorado
