«  the area of the mojave desert is 25,000 square miles. a scale drawing has an area of 10 square inches. what is the scale of the map?   » i think the answer is 10 inches to 25,000 miles but i’m not sure.

1 inch equals 50 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that area of he Mojave desert is 25,000 square miles. A scale drawing has an area of 10 square inches. We are asked to find the scale of the map.

First of all, we will take square roots of both areas to find the lengths of sides as:

Upon comparing sides, we will get:

Therefore, the scale of the map is 1 inch equals 50 miles.

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
