So, the scale is on the map is 3/10 inch equals to an actual 7/8 miles, then how many inches are there in 1 mile?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
inches&miles\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{3}{10}&\frac{7}{8}\\\\
x&1
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{10}\quad }{x}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{7}{8}\quad }{1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{10}\quad }{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{7}{8}\quad }{\frac{1}{1}}

\bf \cfrac{3}{10}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{7}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1}\implies \cfrac{3}{10x}=\cfrac{7}{8}\implies 24=70x\implies \cfrac{24}{70}=x\implies \stackrel{inches}{\cfrac{12}{35}=x}

the ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 21:8:14. if the perimeter of the triangle is 215 ft, find the length of
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle

add the parts of the ratio 21 + 8 + 14 = 43

divide the perimeter by 43 to find the value of one part of the ratio

\frac{215}{43} = 5 ft ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

21 parts = 21 × 5 = 105 ft

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ft

14 parts = 14 × 5 = 70 ft

the 3 sides of the triangle are 105 ft, 40 ft and 70 ft

oee [108]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope from to points you can follow this equation

m=y2-y1 / x2-x1

so plug in the points

1-3/ 1-0

-2/1

Which expression gives the distance between the points
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

C. sqrt((-3-6)² + (4+2)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

as we are using Pythagoras and asking for the distance as a side length (actually the Hypotenuse, the side opposite of the 90 degree angle) in a right-angled triangle, only an expression of a square root of a sum of squares can be right.

so, A and B are automatically out without even further analysis.

for the distance between 2 points on a coordination grid we build the mentioned right-angled triangle with the difference in x-direction as one side (e.g. "a"), the difference in y-direction as a second side (e.g. "b").

and the direct distance is then the Hypotenuse "c".

you remember Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

and therefore

c = sqrt(a² + b²)

in our example "a" is the difference between the 2 x-values.

a = (-3 - 6)

and "b" is the difference between the 2 y-values.

b = (4 - -2) = (4 + 2)

since we have to square them for the formula, the direction of what is subtracted from what is irrelevant, as the square of a negative value is also positive.

c = sqrt((-3 - 6)² + (4 + 2)²)

and that is answer option C
