First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi

Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from a to c:
d^2=24^2+33^2
d^2=576+1089
d^2=1665
d= \sqrt{1665}
d=40.8 mi

Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi

We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved 16.2 miles.</span>

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangle means that all sides are equal

Soo

3x + 1 must be equal to 5x - 9

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

-2x = -10

x = 5

Substitute x as 5 into either side value

3(5) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

So, all sides equal 16

Which means that y + 3 also equals 16

y + 3 = 16

y = 13

timurjin [86]
Since AB is a straight line, and straight lines are 180 degrees, you can add the two 62 degree angles.

62+62=124

180-124=56

Jayden has x nickels and y pennies. He has at most 14 coins worth no less than $0.34 combined. Solve this system of inequalities
oee [108]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of nickels with Jayden = x

Number of pennies with Jayden = y

Since, number of coins is at most 14,

x + y ≤ 14 -------(1)

Worth of nickels = $0.05x

Worth of pennies = $0.01y

Since, worth of pennies is not less than $0.34,

0.05x + 0.01y ≥ 0.34

5x + y ≥ 34 --------(2)

By using a graphing calculator,

Common point of of both the inequalities is (5, 9)

Therefore, Number of nickels = 5

Number of pennies = 9
