Answer:

The approximate difference between m∠C and m∠A is 45° to the nearest degree

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the right triangle

- It has one right angle and two acute angles

- The side opposite the the right angle is called hypotenuse

- The other sides are called the legs of the right angle

- In ΔABC

∵ AC is the hypotenuse

∴ ∠B is the right angle

∴ AB and BC are the legs of the right angle

∴ Angles A and C are the acute angles

∵ m∠B = 90°

- The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°

∴ m∠A + m∠C = 180° - 90° = 90°

- We will use trigonometry to find the measures of angles A and C

- sin A is the ratio between the opposite side to angle ∠A and the

  hypotenuse

∵ BC is the opposite side of angle A

∴ sin A = BC/AC

∵ BC = 5 cm

∵ AC = 13 cm

∴ sin A = 5/13

- Lets find m∠∠A by using sin ^-1

∴ m∠A = sin^{-1}\frac{5}{13}=22.62

- Lets use the rule of the sum of angles A and C to find the measure

 of the angle C

∵ m∠A + m∠C = 90°

∴ 22.62° + m∠C = 90 ⇒ subtract 22.62 from both sides

∴ m∠C = 67.38°

- Lets find the difference between m∠C and m∠A

∴ The approximate difference between m∠C and m∠A is:

  67.38° - 22.62° = 44.78° ≅ 45° to the nearest degree

Can you help me with this question.
HACTEHA [7]

For the scale factor, use the dimensions from similar sides:

Using 18 from the original image you would use 6 from the scaled image.

18 /6 = 3

This means the scaled image is 3 times smaller than the original. Because the scaled image is smaller divide 1 by the scale factor to get 1/3.

Q2:

The scale factor is 1 inch = 12 miles.

Multiply the total inches by 12:

6.5 x 12 = 78 miles.
