On a regional map, the scale shows that 2 cm on the map = 10 actual miles. The actual distance from Forest Hills to Plainville is 74 miles. How far apart are these cities on the map? A.)5 cm
B.)7.4 cm
C.)8 cm
D).14.8 cm

D      

Step-by-step explanation:

if every 2 cm on the map=10 miles, I can use my basic knowledge to find out how many cm will equal 70, in this case I can multiply 7 on both sides to find out how many cm on the map will equal 70, so 2(7)cm=10(7)mi will result as 14cm=70mi. Even though the answer seems pretty clear I can round my answer closer to 2 or I can double check by dividing 74 by 10=7.4 times the 2 cm which gets me 14.8.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
