a) Calculation:
Let the length of the north-south be x miles.
Then since the ratio of the north-south length to the east-west length of Colorado is 1419, and the length of east-west side is 380 miles. So, it gives
north-southeast-west length=1419
x380=1419
Thus, the proportion for the given relationship is x380=1419.

b) Calculation:
The proportion for the given relationship is x380=1419. So, on solving it gives
x380=1419
x380380=1419380
x=532019
x=280.
Thus, the actual north-south length is 280 miles.
