To answer the questions about the parade route, we will break down the information you provided step by step. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the specific map you are referring to, so I cannot directly calculate the distances or gather data from it. However, I can guide you on how you can do this.

  1. Calculate the length along Broadway:

    • Measure the length of the route along Broadway on the map (in units like miles or kilometers). You can use a ruler or the scale provided on the map.
    • If the length is, for example, 2,000 units, convert that into miles using the scale. (If 1 mile = 5,280 feet, convert units to miles accordingly.)

  2. Calculate the length along Central Avenue:

    • Similarly, measure the length along Central Avenue using the same method as above.

  3. Calculate the total length of the parade:

    • Add the lengths of the segments along Broadway and Central Avenue. For example, if Broadway is 2,000 units (which equals 0.38 miles) and Central Avenue is 1,000 units (which equals 0.19 miles), then: \[ \text{Total Length} = \text{Length along Broadway} + \text{Length along Central Avenue} \]

  4. Compare the total length to the requirement:

    • If the total length exceeds 3 miles, provide that as the reasoning for why the proposed route does not meet the requirement.

Here’s a template to fill in your specific numbers based on your measurements:

a. Why does the proposed route not meet the requirement?

The length of the part of the parade along Broadway is about [insert number] units, or [insert number] miles. The length of the part of the parade along Central Avenue is about [insert number] units, or [insert number] miles. The total length of the parade is then about [insert number] units, or [insert number] miles.

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Please fill in the brackets with your calculated values, and ensure you compare to the 3-mile limit to conclude why the proposed route doesn’t comply. If you need additional help or if you manage to provide exact data like lengths, I'd be delighted to assist further!
