If 100 miles = 1 in.
650 = 6.5 x 100 and 6.5 x 1 = 6.5
so, if the journey is 650 m...... the map is 6.5 in.
Thats a rectangle .........
The Answer is....
x=-3 and y=3
(-3,3)
X = 4 because 1 over 24 times 4 is 4 over 24 which is converted to 1 over 6
Answer:
x = 8*root3
y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use tangent and cosine of 60° to find x and y, BUT THERE'S A SHORTCUT. You pointed out that its a 30°-60°-90° triangle. That is a special right triangle. Here's the shortcut:
the longest side (hypotenuse) is double the shortest side. We have an 8 on the shortest side, so the hypotenuse (longest side) is 16. This ALWAYS works for 30°-60°-90° triangles!
Another shortcut:
The longer leg is the shorter leg × root3.
This ALWAYS works on 30°-60°-90° triangles.
So on your triangle, the short side is 8, that means the longer leg is 8×root3.
ta-daaaa!
