Question

A triangle drawn on a map has sides of lengths 7 ​cm, 10 ​cm, and 15 cm. The shortest of the corresponding ​real-life distances is 97 km. Find the longest of the ​real-life distances. Round to the nearest tenth as needed.

Answer 1

The Longest distance is 207.857 km round it we get 207.9 km

Explanation:

The shortest distance on map is 7 cm which correspond with shortest distance of 97 km

The longest distance on map is 15 cm which correspond with shortest distance of "x" km

to find "x"

we have form this equation

`x=(15*97)/7\\x=207.857 km\\x=207.9 km`
