A map has a scale of 1 in : 3 km. If the actual distance is 15 km, what is the distance on the map?

Black_prince [1.1K]2 years ago

Answer:

5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of map distance to real distance is 1 in : 3 km meaning that 1 inch on the map describes 15 km in real life.

15 km is 5 times 3 km, so the map distance is 5 times 1 in., or 5 in.

1 in. x 5 : 3 km x 5

This is a "school math" problem where things come out nicely!  Another way to look at this is with equivalent fractions.

\frac{\text{1 in}}{\text{5 km}} = \frac{\text{m}}{\text{15 km}}

"cross multiply"

5m = (15)(1)\\5m=15\\m=3 \text{ in.}

Select the scenario that correctly represents the given graph.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

C. The vertical distance of a roller coaster from the ground changes with respect to its horizontal distance from the beginning of the ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

See how the graph is in a "U" shape? That tells us that it first decreases and then goes back up at some point.

The way you would find this answer is to go through each scenario (A, B, C, and D) and think about which thing would make sense to go down and then up.

In the construction of the circumcenter, why do you only need to construct two perpendicular bisectors, and not all three?
Wittaler [7]
We know that the Circumcenter is the intersection of a triangle's right (perpendicular) bisectors. Once you have found two of these you can determine their point of intersection. 

It is a proven mathematical concept that the third perpendicular bisector will also cross through this intersection point. While it is not necessary to construct all three it is often done so to verify that the intersection of the first two perpendicular bisectors was in fact correct.

Can you draw an isosceles triangle with only one 80 degree angle?
aev [14]

Answer:

The triangle is 50,50 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees

We only want one 80 degree angle.  That means the other two angles have to be the same, since it is an isosceles triangle.  Call the other angle x

x+x+80 = 180

2x+80 =180

Subtract 80 from each side

2x+80-80=180-80

2x =100

Divide by 2

2x/2=100/2

x = 50

Each of the other angles in the triangle would have to equal 50 degrees

The triangle is 50,50 80
