Answer: The towns are 20 cm apart on the map.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • \frac{2}{30} = \frac{x}{300}
  • 600 = 30x
  • 20 = x

Complete the given diagram by dragging expressions to each leg of the triangle. Then, correctly complete the equation to derive
Nimfa-mama [501]

The equation to derive the distance d is \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}. The lengths of the other legs of the given triangle are (y2 - y1) and (x2 - x1).

<h3>What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points?</h3>

Consider the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

The formula used for calculating the distance between the two points is

distance = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Given that,

The triangle in the graph has vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x2, y1)

Since this triangle makes 90°, it is a right-angled triangle.

Hypotenuse = (x1, y1) to (x2, y2), Adjacent = (x1, y1) to (x2,y1), and Opposite = (x2, y1) to (x2, y2).

Consider the length of the hypotenuse = d

So, using the distance formula, the length of the hypotenuse(d) is,

d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

And the lengths of the other two legs of the given triangle are,

Length of the adjacent side: (x1, y1) to (x2,y1)

= \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y1-y1)^2}

= \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+0}

= (x2-x1)

Length of the opposite side: (x2, y1) to (x2, y2)

= \sqrt{(x2-x2)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

= \sqrt{0+(y2-y1)^2}

= (y2-y1)

Therefore, the derived distances for the given triangle are:

d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}, (x2 - x1), and (y2 - y1).

need help please. Problem: Construct a triangle with interior angle measures of 45° and 45°. The third angle of the triangle is
REY [17]

The angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees so the remaining angle must be 90°.

This triangle is half a square. It's one of the two tired triangles of trig, the other being half an equilateral triangle, 30°/60°/90°.
