Answer:

410 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the photo attached. (Apologies for the legitimately terrible drawing)

The Shortest Distance between any 2 points is the distance thats connects the 2 points directly.

In this case, we can use Pythgoras's Theorem to find AB which is the shortest distance between A and B.

By Pythagoras's Theorem,

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  \\  {ab}^{2}  =  {ac}^{2}  +  {cb}^{2}  \\  {ab}^{2}  =  {90}^{2}  +  {400}^{2}  \\ab =  \sqrt{ {90}^{2} +  {400}^{2}  }  \\  = 410 \: miles

A surfboard has an original price of $259. It is on sale for 55% off the original price.
grin007 [14]
I'm not sure what answer you need for this question?
original price: 259
sale: 55% off
55%=0.55
so 259×0.55=142.45
142.45 is the 55% of the original price
259-142.45=116.55
116.55 is the price after sale.
hope this would help. (*^ω^*)/
