Answer 1

The length of the Panama Canal on Ana's map is approximately 19.133 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the Panama Canal on Ana's map, we can set up a proportion using the scale. Let 'x' represent the length of the canal on Ana's map:

7 centimeters / 30 kilometers = x centimeters / 82 kilometers

Cross-multiplying, we get:

30 kilometers * x centimeters = 82 kilometers * 7 centimeters

Simplifying, we get:

x = (82 kilometers * 7 centimeters) / 30 kilometers

Canceling units, we get:

x = (82 kilometers * 7) / 30

x ≈ 19.133 centimeters

Therefore, the length of the Panama Canal on Ana's map is approximately 19.133 centimeters.
