Answer:

3.2 cm on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of a map says 4cm represents 5km

We are supposed to find what distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 km

5 km = 4 cm

1 km = $\frac{4}{5} cm$

4 km = $\frac{4}{5} \times 4 cm$

4 km = $3.2 cm$

Hence 3.2 cm on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 km

To answer this question, you can set up a proportion that illustrates the map scale against the true distance.

4cm/5km=x/4km

16=5x

3.2cm=x

The area of a triangular flower bed in the park has an area of

blagie [28]

Answer:

b = 24 ft

h = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

120 = ½hb

120 = ½h(3h - 6)

240 = h(3h - 6)

240 = 3h² - 6h

80 = h² - 2h

0 = h² - 2h - 80

0 = (h - 10)(h + 8)

h = 10 ft or -8 ft

we ignore -8 as it makes no sense for a triangle side length.

b = 3(10) - 6 = 24 ft

Which inequality represents all values of x for which the quotient below is

Gnom [1K]

You can re-write this quotient this way :

$\frac{\sqrt{28(x-1)}}{\sqrt{8x^{2} }} = \sqrt{ \frac{28(x-1)}{8x^{2} } }\\$

What's inside the square root must be greater than or equal to 0, because the domain of the square root function is defined on R+ (which is [0,+∞))

In other word we must find x so that :

$\frac{28(x-1)}{8x^{2}}\geq 0$

at the end we get

28(x-1) ≥ 0

28x - 28 ≥ 0

28x ≥ 28

x ≥ 1

So the answer is B, x ≥ 1
