Answer: The answer should be 9.2195

Step-by-step explanation:They tell us the point is 2.9 and they are asking the distance from the origin which is zero. So we can use pythagorean theorem. A²+B²=C² Look at it as a triangle. They have given us A and B, so you can find C² using those information. If you plot the point in the line you know that A=2 and B=9. Using the formula will be 2²+9²=C² ⇒ 4+81=C² ⇒ 85=C². To get rid of the power of 2 in c we have to square both side to cancel it out. C would equal 9.2195

Answer:

12 cm = 21.62 miles

6 cm = 11.04 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of $\frac{map}{real world}$ and simplify.

We know $\frac{map}{real world}=\frac{0.5in}{2.3 miles}$ . We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write $\frac{4.7in}{xmiles}$ and $\frac{2.4in}{xmiles}$
