Lightning travels much faster than thunder, so you see lightning before you hear thunder. If you count 5 seconds between the lightning and thunder, how far away is the storm? Use the image of the graph below to predict. Round to the nearest mile.

Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not possible because there is not equation for this graph because it is not a linear graph.  However, if the 30 was meant to be 6 and the 40 was meant to be 8, then the answer would be 1 mile because it is a 1:5 ratio.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

1. perpendicular

2. parallel

3. perpendicular
