The distance between them on a map at a scale 1 : 600,000 is 14.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale drawing:

Is used to represent a real object with accurate sizes reduced or enlarged by a certain amount (called the scale)
States the ratio of a length in the drawing to an equivalent length in the real world
1 : 100 means 1 unit in drawing represents 100 units in real life

∵ The distance between two cities is 87 km

∵ The distance between them on a map drawn at a scale of

1 : 600,000

- That means each 1 cm represents in real life 600,000 cm, so

you must change the kilometer to centimeter

∵ 1 km = 100,000 cm

∴ 87 km = 87 × 100,000 = 8,700,000 cm

Now let us use the ratio method

→ 1 : 600,000

→ x : 8,700,000

By using cross multiplication

∴ x × 600,000 = 1 × 8,700,000

- Divide both sides by 600,000

∴ x = 14.5

∴ The distance between them on the map = 14.5 cm

The distance between them on a map at a scale 1 : 600,000 is 14.5 cm

How many solutions does this problem have Y=-2x -4 Y= 3x plus 3

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

There is one possible solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of solutions

We can proceed to solve the equation

we have two y values so we can directly equate the x parts

-2x - 4 = 3x + 3

3x + 2x = -3-4

5x = -7

x = -7/5

To get y, we substitute

We can only get one value of y too

So we have a point (x,y) as the solution to the system of equations

Plz help with equation of the circle will award fastest CORRECT answer with brainliest

aliina [53]

Answer:

$(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=6.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is given by:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

The center is the red dot, which is (1,2). Thus, h=1 and k=2.

To find the radius, you need to use the distance formula. We are given two coordinates: the center (red dot) at (1,2) and a blue dot on the circle at (2.5,4). Find the radius by using the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Let (1,2) be x₁ and y₁ and let (2.5,4) be x₂ and y₂. Therefore:

$d=\sqrt{(2.5-1)^2+(4-2)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(1.5)^2+2^2}\\d=\sqrt{2.25+4}\\d=\sqrt{6.25}=2.5$

Thus, r is 2.5.

Plugging these numbers into the equation, we have:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=2.5^2\\(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=6.25$
