A map that was created using a scale of 1 inch : 3 miles
shows a lake with an area of
18 square inches. What is the
actual area of the lake?

9514 1404 393

  162 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area on the map is ...

  18(1 in)²

Then the area on the ground will be ...

  18(3 mi)² = 18·9 mi² = 162 mi²

55? i think maybe

step-by-step explanation:

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
