Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:
Answer:
<u>The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be </u><u>3 inches</u><u> on this map.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is <u>1 inch = 2.5 miles.</u>
To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:
1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles
4 inches ------ x miles
Cross multiplying:
1x = 2.5 x 4
x = 10 miles
The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.
On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles
The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.
Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:
1 inch -------- 5 miles
y inch ------- 15 miles
Cross multiplying:
15 = 5y
y = 15/5
<u>y = 3 inches.</u>
The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.
To solve this problem, we need to first find the dimensions of the side of the blue and purple squares.
We're given that the purple (smaller) square has a side length of x inches.
We are also given that the blue band has a width of 5 inches.
Since the blue band surrounds the purple square on both sides, the length of the blue square is x+2(5)=x+10 inches.
The net area of the band is therefore the difference of the area of the blue square and the purple square, namely take out the area of the purple square from the blue.
Therefore
Area of band

We're given that the purple (smaller) square has a side length of x inches.
We are also given that the blue band has a width of 5 inches.
Since the blue band surrounds the purple square on both sides, the length of the blue square is x+2(5)=x+10 inches.
The net area of the band is therefore the difference of the area of the blue square and the purple square, namely take out the area of the purple square from the blue.
Therefore
