State the differences between a linear scale and representative fraction

A line which is divided into equal parts. It is used on maps to show the relationship between a particular distance on a map and the actual distance on the earth. A linear scale is also called a bar scale, scale bar or graphic scale.

a unit-less relation between one “unit” on the map and how ever many “units” of the same type on the ground. An RF of 1:24,000 means one inch on the map equals 24,000 inches on the ground and one centimeter on the map equals 24,000 centimeters on the ground.Representative Fraction is also known as Numerical Function.

I'm pretty sure there's a geometry rule for   anyways, if the triangle is equilateral, and the circle is circumscribed, the circle is outside of the triangle.  to find the area, you need the radius.  the radius should be a straight line from the center of the triangle to any of it's points.  draw lines from the center of the circle to each of the triangle points.  draw three more lines from the center to the middle of the sides of the triangle.  you should now have six separate 30-60-90 triangles inside of your original triangle. use your 30-60-90 rules to solve for the radius, then the circumference.
