Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}

\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}

\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9

\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.

Write the equations for the line parallel and the line perpendicular to the given line passing through the given point.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

10. y=2x+1                                              y = -1/2x +1

11. y=-1/3x +6                                          y = 3x -4

12. y=-5x-18                                            y=1/5x + 14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope, we use the slope from the equations for parallel lines and modify it for perpendicular lines.

10. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.   The slope here is 2. The parallel slope is 2 and the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal or -1/2.

Parallel                                           Perpendicular

(y-1)=2(x-0)                                       (y-1)==-1/2(x-0)          

y-1=2x                                              y-1 = -1/2 x

y=2x+1                                              y = -1/2x +1

11. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.   The slope here is -1/3. The parallel slope is -1/3 and the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal or 3.

Parallel                                           Perpendicular

(y-5)=-1/3(x-3)                                        (y-5)=3(x-3)          

y-5=-1/3x+1                                            y-5 = 3x - 9

y=-1/3x +6                                              y = 3x -4

12. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.   The slope here is -5. The parallel slope is -5 and the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal or 1/5.

Parallel                                           Perpendicular

(y-2)=-5(x--4)                                           (y-2)=1/5(x--4)          

y-2=-5(x+4)                                              y-2 = 1/5(x +4)

y-2=-5x -20                                              y-2 = 1/5x +4/5

y=-5x-18                                                    y=1/5x + 14/5

The tablecloth has 42" diameter.
Add 8" at each end of the diameter to get 42" + 8" + 8" = 58".
The tablecloth has 58" diameter.
The radius is half the diameter.
Radius = diameter/2 = 58"/2 = 29".
Answer: The radius of the tablecloth is 29".
