The two towns would be 60 miles apart. Because 2 inches divided by 0.5 inches is 4. So you have to multiply 15 miles and you’ll 60 miles
the picture in the attached figure
we know that
if ABC is an isosceles triangle
then
AB=BC
angle A=angle C=45 degrees
and
triangle ABD and triangle BDC also are isosceles triangles
AD=BD=x
DC=BD=x
the hypotenuse AC is equal to

To find the length AB applying the Pythagorean Theorem

remember that AB=BC


therefore
the answer is
the length of one leg of the large right triangle in terms of x is equal to 
It deleted my answer lol... 4/25
Given data:
The given equation of line is y=x/4+5.
The given y-intercept is (0,c)=(0,-3).
The standard equation of line is,
y=mx+c
Compare the given equation with the above expression.
m=1/4
The expression for the slope which is perpendicular to the given line.

The equation of the line which is perpendicular to the given line is,

Thus, the line which is perpendicular to the given line is y=-4x-3.
