Answer:
78 sqr units
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to help find the base opposite the two.
The base of the second parallel line is sqrt( (15^2) - (12^2) ) = sqrt(81) = 9
The second base = 9 + 2 = 11
Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2
h = 12
b1 = 2
b2 = 11
h = 12
Area = (11 + 2)*12/2
Area = 13 * 12/2
Area = 78 square units
3.7cm on the map represents 1850km in reality
3.7cm : 1850km
1cm : 1850/3.7 km
1cm : 500km
Scale statement for map is : 1cm : 500km.
That is 1cm on map represents 500km.
1cm : 500km. Recall 1km = 1000m = 100 000cm
1cm : 500* 100000cm
1cm : 50 000 000cm
1: 50 000 000.
Scale factor is 50 000 000.
