Sagot :

Given:

Two trail maps:

Trail on the first map = 8 cm

Trail on the second map = 6 cm

Scale on first map = 1 cm : 2 km

A) What is the scale factor from the map to the actual trail?

For the first map, the scale factor is 1 cm: 2km. Therefore the actual trail is 8 centimeters * 2 kilometers = 16 km.

The scale factor of the second map is 16 km / 6 cm = 2.67 km : 1 cm

B) The length of the actual trail is 16 kilometers.
