Answer:

C. 27

Step-by-step explanation:

well we can use the pythagorean theorem for this and disregard the 11. so we have the hypotenuse and one side so therefore a^2+b^2=c^2 and if we plug in the numbers it would look like this

16.5^2+x^2=29^2

272.25+x^2=841

x^2=568.75

and from multiple choice we can infer that the answer is obviously bigger than 16.5 because in the picture x is a longer side but it is smaller than 29 and the only answer in between those two numbers given would be C. 27

Lelu [443]

Answer: The distance in the map is 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the map. 2 inches represent an actual distance of 64 miles.

The actual distance between town A and town B is equal to 608 miles, we need to divide this distance into groups of 64 miles.

N = 608/64 = 9.5

And each one of those 9.5 groups is represented with 2 inches in the map, then the distance in the map is:

d = 9.5*2 inches = 19 inches.
