Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From figure,

In triangle 

![\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CRightarrow%20%28a%2Bb%29%5E2%3D%28a-b%29%5E2%2B%28O%27%20D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%2B2ab-a%5E2-b%5E2%2B2ab%3D%28O%27%20D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%204ab%3D%28O%27%20D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20O%27D%3D2%5Csqrt%7Bab%7D%20%5C%5C%5CRightarrow%20O%27%20D%3D2%5Csqrt%7Bab%7D%3DAB%20%5Cquad%20%5Cquad%20%5B%5Cbecause%20O%27%20DAB%5C%3B%5C%3B%20%5Ctext%7Bis%20a%20rectangle.%7D%5D)
Hence, 
The width would be 236 and the lengths would be 118
Use the equations 2L+W=472 and W*L=MAX
Change the first equation to W=472-2L and plug this into the other equation
(472-2L)(L)=MAX
472L-2L^2=M (take derivative)
472-4L=0 (set to 0 to find the max value)
4L=472
L=118
Plug into original to get W=236
Hope this helps!
Answer:
4925cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
whole thing - small thing = shaded
small = 25 x 25 = 625
whole thing = a+b / 2 x h = 111+111/2 x 50 = 5550
5550-625= 4925cm^2
I think that’s the answer
Divide actual km by scale km:
54/18 = 3
Multiply scale cm by that:
3 x 3 = 9
They are 9cm apart on the map
