Answer: 9 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance between city A and city B is 540 miles

Scale on the map is 1 inch: 60 miles i.e. 1 inch on the map is equivalent to 60 miles in the real situation

suppose the distance between city A and B on the map is x

\therefore \dfrac{1}{60}=\dfrac{x}{540}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{540}{60}=9\ in.

Therefore, the distance between city A and B is 9 in.

Answer:

The mid-point (p + q , q + p) of AB is the same distance from the x-axis and the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

*<em> Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- Any point will be equidistant from the x-axis and the y-axis must have

 equal coordinates

- Ex: point (4 , 4) is the same distance from the x-axis and the y-axis

 because the distance from the x-axis to the point is 4 (y-coordinate)

 and the distance from the y-axis and the point is 4 (x-coordinate)

- If (x , y) is the mid-point of a segment its endpoints are

 (x_{1},y_{1})  and (x_{2},y_{2}), then

 x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} and y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>

∵ Point A has coordinates (p , q)

∵ Point B has coordinates (p + 2q , q + 2p)

- The mid-point of AB is (x , y)

∵ x=\frac{p+p+2q}{2}

∴ x=\frac{2p+2q}{2}

- Take 2 as a common factor from the terms of the numerator

∴ x=\frac{2(p+q)}{2}

- Divide up and down by 2

∴ x = p + q

∵ y=\frac{q+q+2p}{2}

∴ y=\frac{2q+2p}{2}

- Take 2 as a common factor from the terms of the numerator

∴ y=\frac{2(q+p)}{2}

- Divide up and down by 2

∴ y = q + p

∴ <em>The mid point of AB is (p + q , q + p)</em>

- p + q is the same with q + p

∵ The x-coordinate of the mid point of AB is p + q

∵ The y-coordinate of the mid point of AB is q + p

∵ p + q = q + p

∴ The coordinates of the mid-point of AB are equal

- According the explanation above

∴ The mid-point (p + q , q + p) of AB is the same distance from the

   x-axis and the y-axis
