<u>Answer-</u>
<u>Solution-</u>
Triangle XYZ is a right angle triangle with ∠Y=90°
Triangle XYZ is also an isosceles triangle, as
∠X =45°= ∠Z
Therefore, triangle XYZ is a right angle isosceles triangle.
So,
XY = YZ = 9 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem,
In a right angle triangle, always the hypotenuse is the largest. So XZ is the longest segment in triangle XYZ.
Answer:
12 cm = 21.62 miles
6 cm = 11.04 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of and simplify.
We know . We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write
and
We set them equal.
and
To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
and
