Answer:

3.2 miles

Explanation:

  • If the Astronomical units is about 1 A.U which is = 1/2 plate then the diameter = 2 inches will be of  10,000 AU   2 X 10,000 = 20,000 inches.
  • Thus the 20,000 A.U / 12 = 1,666 feet   1,666 / 5280 = /3 of a mile  then the  10,000 AU  2 X 100,000 = 200,000 inches.
  • 20,000 / 12 = 16,666 feet  
  • 16,666 / 5280 = 3.2 miles

A weather map is shown below:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The cold front is to the west of Dallas.

Explanation:

The curved line with triangles on the map represents a cold front, and the direction of the front is indicated by the way the triangles are pointing.

The cold front is most likely to affect Dallas in the coming hours and will probably bring rain, wind, and possibly thunderstorms to the Dallas area. After the passage of the cold front, the pressure will rise and the temperature will drop. The wind will now be out of the northwest.

The predictions are no always exact because some winter cold fronts can bring snow and not all cold fronts generate thunderstorms.
