Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

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. (a) 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? (b) 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 1

other first map each cm represents 2 km so:

`(1)/(8 ) = (2000)/(16000)`
so its 16 kilometers
on the second map with the same factors:

`(1)/(6) = (2000)/(12000)`
its 12 km
for the A landmark:
multiply the sides by 20000 because 1km=10000mm
so the sides are 60000, 80000,100000
hope this helps
