On a map Rossville and Smithtown are 5 1/2 inches apart. If the actual distance between the town is 16 1/2 miles, to what unit rate is the map drawn? A. 1 inch = 2 1/2 miles
B. 1 inch = 3 miles
C. 1 inch = 3 1/3 miles
D. 1 inch = 11 miles

b and c

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
