Answer:

Actual distance between 2 towns is:

         2.75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on a map is 1 inch = 0.5 miles

The distance between two towns on the map is 5.5 inch

     1 inch= 0.5 miles

  5.5 inch= 5.5×0.5 miles

            = 2.75 miles

Hence, actual distance between two towns is:

   2.75 miles

In order to determine the actual distance between the two towns, multiply the distance between the two towns in the map, 5.5 in by the scale on the map. It is noted in the map that per inch distance corresponds to 0.5 mi. The product of 5.5 in and 0.5 mi/in is 2.75 miles. Thus, the actual distance between the towns is 2. 75 miles.

Answer:

 y= -\frac{1}{3}x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula, you can form this equation! The slope of any equation would replace the m, and the y intercept would replace b!

I added in the slope formula at the bottom, just in case, so you'll see what I mean!

I hope this helps, and I explained enough! Have a great day c:

The surface area of the cube is 54 square feet. What is the length, in feet, of one edge of the cube?​
Brut [27]

Answer:

3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is made of 6 equal faces each of which is a square with the same side length. The surface area of the cube is the surface area of one side multiplied by 6. We know the surface area is 54 so divide this by 6.

54/6 = 9 ft^2

Since the surface must be a square, take the square root of 9 which is 3 ft. The length of one edge of the cube is 3 ft.

The triangles are similar. If KL = 5, JL = 6, and PM = 9, find PN. Round to the nearest tenth.
Pachacha [2.7K]
If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5
