Answer:

a. 1 200 000 km

b. 0.000 773 cm

c. 67 500 000 000 km²

d. 0.000 000 016 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Calculate the ACTUAL distance, in km, between two places which are 16 cm apart on the map.

Since the scale is 1 : 75000 that is 1 cm : 75000 km, we want to find the actual distance of 16 cm on the map. Let x be the actual distance in km.

So, 1 cm : 75000 km = 16 cm : x km

So, 1 cm/75000 km = 16 cm/x km

Thus x km = 16 cm × 75000 km/1 cm = 1 200 000 km

(b) Calculate length of a road on the map which is 0.58 km.

Let y be the length of road on the map. So, using our scale

1 cm : 75000 km = y cm : 0.58 km

So, 1 cm/75000 km = y cm/0.58 km

Thus y cm = 0.58 km × 1 cm/75000 km = 0.000 773 cm

(c) Calculate, in km², the ACTUAL area of a lake which is 12 cm2 on the map.

Since the scale is 1 : 75000 , the scale for the area would be the square of this. So, 1² : 75000² = 1 : 5 625 000 000 which is 1 cm² : 5 625 000 000 km²

Let z be the actual area of the lake.

So,  1 cm² : 5 625 000 000 km² = 12 cm² : z km²

So, 1 cm²/5 625 000 000 km² = 12 cm²/z km²

Thus z km² = 12 cm² × 5 625 000 000 km²/1 cm² = 67 500 000 000 km²

(d) Calculate the area of a play field on the map which has has an actual area of 90 km².

Let a represent the area of the play field on the map. Using our scale for the area,

1 cm² : 5 625 000 000 km² = a cm² : 90 km²

So, a cm² = 90 km² × 1/5 625 000 000 km² = 0.000 000 016 cm²

The formula for the volume of a right circular cone, V, is given below, where r represents the radius of the base of the cone an
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

r=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{(\pi h)}}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a right circular cone is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

where

r is the radius of the base of the cone

h is the height

Solve for r-----> That means, isolate the variable r

so

step 1

Multiply by 3 both sides

3V=\pi r^{2}h

step 2

Divide by (\pi h) both sides

\frac{3V}{(\pi h)}=r^{2}

step 3

take square root boot sides

r=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{(\pi h)}}

padilas [110]

Answer:

Average\ Speed = 60 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance = 345\ miles

Time = 5\ hours\ 45\ minutes

Required

Determine the average speed

This is calculated as thus:

Average\ Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Convert time to hour:

Time = 5\ hours\ 45\ minutes

Time = 5\ hours + \frac{45}{60}\ hour

Time = 5\ hours + \frac{3}{4}\ hour

Time = \frac{20 + 3}{4}\ hours

Time = \frac{23}{4}\ hours

Time = 5.75\ hours

Average\ Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Average\ Speed = \frac{345}{5.75}

Average\ Speed = 60 mi/hr
