The actual distance between trees can be found by using the ratio of the scale, which is 1 cm = 10 ft. Therefore, for every 1 cm in the diagram, the actual distance is 10 ft.
If the trees are 3.7 cm apart in the diagram, then the actual distance between them is:
3.7 cm x 10 ft/cm = 37 ft
So the correct answer is C. 37ft.
