Pia printed two maps of a walking trail. The length of the trail on the first map is 8 cm. The length of the trail on the second map is 6 cm.
1 cm on the first map represents 2 km on the actual trail. What is the scale factor from the map to the actual trail? What is the length of the actual trail?
A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm. What is the scale factor from the first map to the second map? What are the side lengths of the landmark on the second map? Show your work.
Answer:

Respuesta :

first calculate the length of the actual trail
trail = 8 cm ( 2 km / 1 cm )
trail = 16 km
so the scale factor of the second map is:
scale = 16 km / 6 cm
scale = 2.67 km / 1 cm
the scale on the 2nd map is 1 cm represent 2.67 km in the actual trail
