Scale Drawings are drawings that are used to show the true size of something.
Scale drawings are most commonly used in maps, or in large scale drawings. These show the scale of something. It may show that 1cm is equivalent to 1km, which would allow someone to measure the map to see how far the distance it. It also allows a map to be made smaller, and less detailed- making it often easier to read.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
D: New York City is the correct answer
In this case we are dealing with the pythagorean theorm involving right angled triangles. This theorm states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means the square of the hypotenuse (side c, opposite the right angle) is equal to the square of the remaining two sides.
In this case we will say that a = 3963 miles which is the radius of the earth. c is equal to the radius of the earth plus the additional altitude of the space station which is 250 miles; therefore, c = 4213 miles. We must now solve for the value b which is equal to how far an astronaut can see to the horizon.
(3963)^2 + b^2 = (4213)^2
b^2 = 2,044,000
b = 1430 miles.
The astronaut can see 1430 miles to the horizon.
60 miles would be the total miles in the trip
One can be, they both have the same absolute value no matter what.
