Morse code is essentially the same as binary. That is, there are two "digits", a dot or a dash.
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. Clearly, we can't just use one dot or dash, since that could only encode 2 letters at the most. We can't use two symbols because that could only encode 4 letters at the most. Similarly, 3 symbols means
letters at most.
We have to select the smallest power of 2 that exceeds or is equal to 26. In this case,
, so we would have to use up to 5 symbols to encode each letter in the alphabet.

</span><span>4. The scale of a map is 1 in = 9.6 mi map: ________ in actual:
34.7 mi
</span><span>1 in / 9.6 mi = x in / 34.7 mi, x = 3.62 in
</span><span>
</span><span>5. The scale of a map is 1 ft = 9.6 mi map: ________ ft actual:
38.4 mi
</span><span>1 ft / 9.6 mi = x ft / 38.4 mi, x = 4 ft
</span><span>
</span><span>6. The scale factor for a model is 5 cm = ________ m Model :
22.4 cm actual: 155.2 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 22.4 cm / 155.2 m, x = 34.64 m
</span><span>
</span><span>7. The scale of a map is 5 in = 10 mi map: 8.7
in actual: ______ mi
</span><span>5 in / 10 mi = 8.7 in / x mi, x = 17.4 mi
</span><span>
</span><span>8. The scale of a map is 1 in = 13.5 mi map:

</span><span>1 in / 13.5 mi = x in / 65.9 mi, x = 4.88 in
</span><span>
</span><span>9. The scale factor for a model is 5 cm =
________ m Model : 61.5 cm actual: 143.2 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 61.5 / 143.2 m, x = 11.64 m
</span><span>
</span><span>10. The scale factor for a
model is 5 cm = ________ m Model : 29.7 cm actual: 179.5 m
</span><span>5 cm / x m = 29.7 cm / 179.5 m, x = 30.22 m

Y = a x² + b x + c
y = 0.0473809524 · 20² + 2.221428571 · 20 - 0.005952381 =
= 18.95236 + 44.42875 - 0.05952381 = 63.374978 ≈ 63.4
Answer: C ) 63.4 ft.
