Answer 1

The offset rise required is approximately 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the offset rise, we need to determine the number of inches needed to represent the given distances on a map using a scale of 1 inch to 5.5 miles. We can use proportions to find the answer:

1. 16.5 miles = (16.5/5.5) inches = 3 inches
2. 11 miles = (11/5.5) inches = 2 inches
3. 27.5 miles = (27.5/5.5) inches = 5 inches
4. 8.25 miles = (8.25/5.5) inches = 1.5 inches
5. 33 miles = (33/5.5) inches = 6 inches
6. 60.5 miles = (60.5/5.5) inches = 11 inches
7. 13.75 miles = (13.75/5.5) inches = 2.5 inches

Based on these calculations, the offset rise required is approximately 3 inches.
