Answer:

<em>The actual distance between the cities is 1,200 Km</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling </u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is multiplying or dividing real dimensions by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.

We are given the scale on a map as 1:20,000,000.

Two cities are 6 cm on the map. The actual distance is obtained by multiplying:

6 * 20,000,000 = 120,000,000 cm

Divide by 100 to convert to meters and by 1,000 to convert to km 120,000,000/100/1,000=1,200 Km

The actual distance between the cities is 1,200 Km

Solving system of equations by substitution
weeeeeb [17]
Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation

3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4

sub back

y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2

x=4
y=2

Which side lengths form a right triangle?
Stels [109]

Answer:

B) 1, 8, √65

Step-by-step explanation:

For 3 side lengths to form a triangle the sum of two random sides must be bigger than the third side and their differences must be smaller than the third side.

1+8 > √65 because √65 is approximately 8.1

8-1 < √65
