Question

If the distance between lines l and m is 7 centimeters, then the distance between corresponding points on Flag 1 and Flag 2 is A centimeters. If the distance between lines l and m is represented as dₗₘ​, and the distance between corresponding points on Flag 1 and Flag 2 is A, which equation correctly relates these quantities?

a) A = dₗₘ
b)A - 2 dₗₘ
c) A = 1/2 dₗₘ
d) A = 7 dₗₘ

Answer 1

The correct equation that relates the distance between lines l and m, represented as dlm, to the distance between corresponding points on two flags, given as A, is A = dlm as long as the scaling is consistent between the two flags.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is given that the distance between lines l and m is 7 centimeters and is looking to relate this to the distance between corresponding points on Flag 1 and Flag 2, given as A centimeters. Based on the information provided, the relationship between the distance dlm and A must be a direct one-to-one relationship if the scaling factor is consistent across the two flags. Therefore, the correct equation that relates these quantities would be A = dlm, since we do not have any information that suggests a different scaling factor or relationship.
