.

Here, we can use concept of proportionality to find the remaining actual distances.

Using the concept of Proportionality, we get:

d/57=1046/58=f/53.5

=> 1046/58=18
57/AB=18
d=18*57
d=1026

f/53.5=18
f=18*53.5
f=963

Therefore, the approximate distance from Hamilton to Fort Lauderdale=1026 miles.

And the approximate distance from San Juan to Hamilton=963 miles.

I like your explanation and geometric figures. It helps to see what is going on.
