The distance the ships traveled are like the legs of a triangle and the question wants to know the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse, use the pythagorean theorem. this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a and b being the legs and c being the <span>hypotenuse.
</span>Plug in known values:
84^2 + 62^2 = c^2
Solve:
84^2 = 7056
62^2 = 3844
7056 + 3844 = c^2
7056 + 3844 = 10900
10900 = c^2
Now you just need to isolate c by finding the square root of both sides.
√10900 = 104.403
√c^2 = c
So c = 104.403, or just 104.40 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
And if c is 104.40, then that means the hypotenuse is 104.40.
And all of that basically means that the distance between the ships is 104.40 miles.

Answer Madam Gazelle
Step-by-step explanation:
(-1,-4) is where the equations Y=4x and x+y=-5 intersect.
<span>: 2s + 3t = 28, 2s = 28 - 3t s = 14 - 3t/2 Substitute s into second equation 5s + 6t = 61, 5(14 - 3t/2) + 6t = 61, 70 - 15t/2 + 6t = 61, 70 - 3t/2 = 61, 3t/2 = 9, t = 6. We can then substitute t back into first equation: 2s + 3t = 28, 2s + 3 * 6 = 28, 2s = 10, s = 5. So the final answer is: s = 5 t = 6</span>
