Please I need extreme help. I have to turn this in soon. It is my last homework lesson and it is worth a lot. 1. Pia printed two maps of a walking trail. The length of the trail on the first map is 8 cm. The length of the trail on the second map is 6 cm. 1 cm on the first map represents 2 km on the actual trail. (b) A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm. What is the scale factor from the first map to the second map? What are the side lengths of the landmark on the second map? Show your work.

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.
