1 cm = 5km scale ratio

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Definition: Ratio of the size of the map to its subject: Scale ... so scale = 1 cm / 100,000 cm = 1/100,000. - Scale ... STEP 1: - 2 cm represents 5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: - 2 cm represents 5 km - (write in full)

- STEP 2: - 1 cm represents 2.5 km - (divide so left side = 1)

- STEP 3: - 1 cm represents 250,000 cm - (convert to same units)

- STEP 4: - scale is 1 : 250,000 - (express as a representative fraction)

One way of solving systems of linear equations is by adding a multiple of one equation to the other. the multiplier for one equa

elena-s [515]

We want to use elimination to solve
y = 0 (1)
x + y = 40 (2)

Multiply (1) by -1 to eliminate y.
-y = 0 (3)

Add (2) and (3).
x + y + (-y) = 40 + 0
x = 40

Answer: Multiply by -1.

The diagram shows two nested triangles that share a vertex.Find a center and a scale factor for a dilation that would move the l

nasty-shy [4]

Transformation that changes the size of a shape is referred to as dilation.

The scale factor that moves the large triangle to the small one is 1/5
The center of dilation is: (-1,1)

<u>The center of dilation</u>

From the diagram (see attachment), the triangles share a common vertex at (-1,1)

This means that, the center of dilation is (-1,1)

<u>The scale factor of dilation</u>

To do this, we divide the side length of the small triangle with the corresponding side of the large triangle.

From the attached image:

$\mathbf{Base\ of\ small\ triangle = 1}$

$\mathbf{Base\ of\ large\ triangle = 5}$

So, the scale factor (k) from large to small is:

$\mathbf{k = \frac{Base\ of\ small\ triangle}{Base\ of\ large\ triangle} }$

$\mathbf{k = \frac{1}{5} }$
