Use the image to answer the question.
A map shows a grid 17 units across and 12 units high, superimposed over shapes that represent streets and buildings. A key lists buildings located in Washington D.C. that correspond to points on the grid. Point A represents the White House. It is located at 4 units across from the left, and 3 units down from the top. Point B represents the Washington Monument, located at 5 units across and 9 units down. Point C represents the Natural History Museum, and is located at approximately 8 units across and 8 units down. Point D represents the Smithsonian, and is located at 10 units across and 10 units down. Point E represents the National Portrait Gallery, and is located at 12 units across and 3 units down. Point F represents the National Gallery of Art, and is located at 14 units across and 8 units down. A scale shows 200 feet and 200 meters.
Find the length between landmark B and landmark F .
(1 point)
To find the length between landmark B and landmark F on the map, we need to determine the distance in units.
From the given information, landmark B is located at 5 units across and 9 units down, while landmark F is located at 14 units across and 8 units down.
Using the grid, we can count the number of units horizontally and vertically between the two landmarks:
Horizontal distance = 14 units across - 5 units across = 9 units
Vertical distance = 8 units down - 9 units down = -1 unit
However, since the vertical distance is negative, we need to take its absolute value: |-1| = 1 unit.
Therefore, the length between landmark B and landmark F on the map is 9 units horizontally and 1 unit vertically.
wrong
I apologize for the incorrect answer. Let me recalculate the length between landmark B and landmark F.
From the given information, landmark B is located at 5 units across and 9 units down, while landmark F is located at 14 units across and 8 units down.
Hence, the horizontal distance between B and F is:
14 units across - 5 units across = 9 units.
The vertical distance between B and F is:
8 units down - 9 units down = -1 unit.
As the vertical distance is negative, we take its absolute value: |-1| = 1 unit.
Therefore, the length between landmark B and landmark F on the map is 9 units horizontally and 1 unit vertically.
To find the length between landmark B (Washington Monument) and landmark F (National Gallery of Art), we can use the grid scale provided on the map.
First, let's calculate the horizontal distance (across) between the two landmarks:
Landmark B is located at 5 units across, and landmark F is located at 14 units across. To find the horizontal distance, we subtract the smaller value from the larger value:
14 - 5 = 9 units across.
Next, let's calculate the vertical distance (down) between the two landmarks:
Landmark B is located at 9 units down, and landmark F is located at 8 units down. To find the vertical distance, we subtract the smaller value from the larger value:
9 - 8 = 1 unit down.
Now, we have the horizontal distance of 9 units across and the vertical distance of 1 unit down.
Since we have a scale provided on the map, we can use it to convert the units to a real-life measurement. The scale is 200 feet and 200 meters. Let's assume we are using feet.
Each unit across on the map represents 200 feet, so 9 units across would be:
9 units across * 200 feet/unit = 1800 feet.
Each unit down on the map represents 200 feet, so 1 unit down would be:
1 unit down * 200 feet/unit = 200 feet.
Therefore, the length between landmark B and landmark F is 1800 feet horizontally and 200 feet vertically.
