If a scale distance of 3.5 inches on a map represents an actual distance of 175 kilometers, what actual distance does a scale distance of 5.7 inches represent?

step-by-step explanation:

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft

answer: the answer to this problem is yes because 4n + 4 does equal 2m - 6

step-by-step explanation: first you have to calculate 2m - 6 second you have to calculate 4n + 4 finally you have to get your answer
