Answer:

2.25 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 cm represents 0.5 km on the ground we cross multiply to find how much ground will be represented by 9 cm on the map

2cm=0.5km

9cm=?

(9cm×0.5km)÷2cm

4.5km(cm)÷2cm
2.25 km

NOTE: since the cm are the same they will cancel each other out in the division stage

A book has a front and a back and 400 pages. The front and back cover are each 0.9mm thick measured to 1 decimal place. Each pag

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is actually 5.17 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to calculate the minimum thickness so you have to find the lowest bounds.

The covers are 0.9 mm to 1 d.p so the minimum thickness is 0.85 because that is the lowest bound.

The pages are 0.13 mm to 2 d.p so the minimum thickness is 0.125 as that is the lowest bound.

0.85 x 2 = 1.7 and 0.125 x 400 = 50

50 + 1.7 = 51.7 which is the minimum length.

Find the distance between A (2,6) and N (5, 10). Round<br> To the nearest tenth

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

5.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be expressed in formula of:

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

Determine:

$\displaystyle{(x_2,y_2)}$ is (5,10).
$\displaystyle{(x_1,y_1)}$ is (2,6).

Therefore, substitute in the formula to find distance:

$\displaystyle{d = \sqrt{\left(5-2\right)^2+\left(10-6\right)^2}}\\\\\displaystyle{d = \sqrt{3^2+4^2}}\\\\\displaystyle{d = \sqrt{9+16}}\\\\\displaystyle{d = \sqrt{25}}\\\\\displaystyle{d = 5}$

Therefore, the distance between two points is 5.0 units.
