Answer:
The longest of the real-life distances is 238.125 km....
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest side of triangle is 8cm
The longest side = 15cm
Now set up a proportion:
8/127 = 15/x
By cross multiplication we get,
8*x = 15*127
8x = 1,905
Divide both sides by 8
8x = 1,905/8
x = 238.125 km
The longest of the real-life distances is 238.125 km....
