Question

A triangle drawn on a map has sides of lengths 7.0 cm, 11 cm, and 13 cm. The shortest of the corresponding real-life distances is 91 km. Find the longest of the real- life distances.  Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

parthkohli · Answer

The shortest distance on the map: 7 cm.
The shortest distance in real like: 91 km.

We notice that we must multiply 13 to the distance on the map, and then convert cm to km.

parthkohli · Answer

Can you do that with 11 and 13?

And remember - the answer will be the one you do with 13.
