Hi! So pretty much to find slope of a triangle you are going to use rise/run. The height being 12 and the length is 14. You get 12/14. Simplified is going to be 6/7. :)
Answer:
14.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Distance moved North = 12 miles
Distance moved West = 8 miles
Shortest distance to reach starting point :
Let shortest distance to reach starting point = d miles
Using the relation :
Longest side of a right angled triangle:
d = sqrt(8^2 + 12^2)
d = sqrt(64 + 144)
d = sqrt(208)
d = 14.422205
d = 14.4 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)
Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown".
Step-by-step explanation:
In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try:)
Mistake in Line 2 : Was in the determining the values for a ,b,c
Mistake in Line 4 : Not taking the square roots of both sides.
