a map has a scale of 3cm : 18 km. If riverside & Smithville are 54 km apart they are how far apart on the map?

1 answer:

3 0

Alright! To solve this one you first have to find out what 1cm is equal to in km, to do that you have to divide 18km by 3cm:

[18 ÷ 3] = 6.

Now we know that 1cm is 6km. To find how far apart they are on the map you simply divide 54km by 6km:

[54 ÷ 6] = 9.

They are 9cm apart on the map.

Answer:

$\boxed{x^2=-8y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a,b)\ is \ the\ focus\\y=k\ is \ the\ directrice\\\\Formula\ to\ use:\ y=\dfrac{(x-a)^2}{2(b-k)} +\dfrac{b+k}{2} \\\\Here: \ a=0,\ b=-2, \ k=2\\\\y=\dfrac{(x-0)^2}{2(-2-2)} +\dfrac{-2+2}{2} \\\\so\ y=-\dfrac{x^2}{8} \\\\or\ x^2=-8y$
