Answer:
There are 144 square inches in a square foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
A square foot is a square that is 1 foot by 1 foot. Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, and to get the area you need to multiple 2 adjacent sides together, you do 12 times 12 which is 144 square inches. Many people have the misconception that a square foot has 12 square inches, but this is wrong since a square foot has dimensions of 12 inches by 12 inches, but when you multiply them together, you can see that the answer is actually 144.
Answer: 6 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a map of Rockbridge County has a scale factor of 2.5 in = 5 miles.
When the actual distance from Fairfield to Lexington is 12 miles, the distance on the map will be:
= 12/5 × 2.5
= 2.4 × 2.5
= 6 inch
