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

The correct answer is B. 50ft

Explanation

This image is a contour line in which each line represents a cut of the terrain at a specific height, you can see that the first line has a number zero, the third line has a number 100ft and the sixth line has a number 200ft. Therefore, it can be stated that each line represents an ascent of 50 ft in height because the interval corresponds to 50 ft in height. So, line 1, 0 ft; line 2, 50 ft; line 3, 100 ft; line 4, 150 ft; line 5, 200 ft; and so on. So the correct answer is B. 50ft.
