9514 1404 393

Answer:

a = any positive multiple of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want ...

(5 1/3)/(4/a) = whole number

(16/3)·(a/4) = whole number

(4a/3) = whole number

This will be the case for a = 3n, for any positive integer n.

The Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, PA, runs diagonally from City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In the scal

Ghella [55]

Answer:

6895ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The coordinates

City Hall is located at (11.4, 1.2) x1,y1= 11.4, 1.2

Museum of Art is located at (1.5, 10.8) x2,y2= 1.5, 10.8

Required:

the distance between the two points

Applying the Pythagorean theorem as

$d= \sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)$ we can find the distance by substituting the given point coordinates

$d= \sqrt((1.5-11.4)^2+(10.8-1.2)^2)\\\\d= \sqrt((-9.9)^2+(9.6)^2)\\\\d= \sqrt(98.01+92.16)\\\\d= \sqrt190.17\\\\d=13.79$

in feet, we are told that a unit is 500 ft

then 13.79 will be 500*13.79

=6895.107ft

=6895ft
