Adam is planning a hike and printed two maps of the trail. The length of the trail on the first map is 8 cm. The length of the trail on the second map is 5 cm.
(a) 1 cm on the first map represents 3.5 km on the actual trail. What is the length of the actual trail according to the first map?
(b) A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm. 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.

Respuesta :

A) 1 cm = 3.5 km

The trail is 8cm long on the map, multiply 8 by 3.5:

8 x 3.5 = 28 km total

B. The first map is 8cm, the second map is 5 cm

The scale factor to change from the 1st map to the 2nd map would be 5/8

Multiply the dimensions on the 1st map by 5/8.

3 cm x 5/8 = 1 7/8 cm

4 cm x 5/8 = 2 1/2 cm

6 cm x 5/8 = 3 3/4 cm
