8 0

Answer:

14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem

The formula is given as:

c ² = a² + b ²

Where:

c = Hypotenuse

a = 8cm

b = 12 cm

Hence,

c² = 8² + 12²

c² = 64 + 144

c² = 208

We square root both sides

c = √(208)

c = 14.422205102 cm

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 14.4 cm

On a map, the distance between two towns is 3.4 inches. The map scale is 2 inches: 25 miles. What is the actual distance between

Mariulka [41]

For this question we can solve it by setting up a proportion:

$\frac{2inches}{25 miles}= \frac{3.4inches}{x}$

Now we can solve for x to find the total distance between the towns. Let's cross multiply and solve for x:

$2x=85$
$x=42.5miles$

So now we know that the total distance between the towns is 42.5 miles.
