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

Please help me with this problem <br> Evaluate (-½·3)³
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: -27/8

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3

\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(-a\right)^n=-a^n,\:\quad \mathrm{if\:}n\mathrm{\:is\:odd}

\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3

=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3

\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n

\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3

=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3

=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:3^3

=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:27

=-\frac{27}{8}
