Answer: Straight north-south road in this scale is 4.55 miles long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1 inch = 1000 feet

If a map of the city limits is 24 inches from North to South,

So, Length of straight north- south road in this scale is given by

Since,\\\\1\ inch=1000\ feet\\\\24\ inches=24\times 1000\ feet=24000\ feet\\\\\text{We need to change it into miles}\\\\1\ mile=5280\ feet\\\\\frac{24000}{5280}=4.55\ miles

So, Straight north-south road in this scale is 4.55 miles long.

The sum of two numbers is 148. The larger number is two less than three times the smaller. What are the two numbers?
Lyrx [107]
Let
x--------->  the larger number
y---------> the smaller number

we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2

substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5

the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5

A viewfinder has a triangular lens. Some of the measurement of the length are shown below. Which of the following best represent
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the unknown angle of the triangle.

40 + 20 = 60

180 - 60 = 120

So the unknown angle is 120.

Then, we can use the law of sines to create a proportion.

sin(120)/8 = sin(40)/a

Then, we can simplify this.

a is about 5.9, or answer choice A.

Pls help I’m rlly confused. The question says “find the value of x using complementary angels” ty <3
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x=83. please look below for explanation. if anything isn't clear, please ask

Step-by-step explanation:

so complementary means adding up to 90 degrees in math. in this particular equation, you have to make sure that both (x-18) and 25 add up to 90.

if that other side is 25 degrees, the other side must be 65 because 90-25=65.

so now you have to set those equal to each other like this:

65 = (x-18)    now just solve for x

add the 18 to the other side. the -18 and +18 cancel.

x=83

so to test and to see if that is right, we can do

83-18 = 65

does 65+25 equal 90? yes

therefore, x=83
