Answer:

D. 20 yds

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️First, find the distance across across the pond on the drawing using Pythagorean Theorem:

Distance across = √(6² + 8²) = √100

Distance across on drawing = 10 in.

✔️Next, find the actual distance using the scale of 1 inch : 2 yards:

The scale implies that,

1 inch represents 2 yards

Therefore:

10 inches will represent = 10 × 2 = 20 yards
