1. 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?
Scale factor is 1x2=2
8x2/1=16 length of 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:

Step-by-step explanation:

b) 1- scale factor from the first map to the second map:

[tex]\frac{8}{6}[/tex]  = 1.33

   2- landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm.

Side lengths of the landmark on the second map

Divide the length by scale factor:

side lengths of 3 mm:  [tex]\frac{3}{1.33}[/tex] = 2.25 mm

side lengths of 4 mm:  [tex]\frac{4}{1.33}[/tex] = 3.007 mm

side lengths of 5 mm:  [tex]\frac{5}{1.33}[/tex] = 3.75 mm
