Answer:

Ben and Susan will be 340 miles apart

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: We plot the problem on a graph to visualize the problem

Step 2: We notice that the problem creates a right triangle with the distance Ben and Susan travel as the legs of the right triangle

Step 3: We can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c² to solve the distance between Ben and Susan

Step 4: We enter the numbers into the formula

a² + b² = c²

300² + 160² = c²

90000 + 25600 = c²

115600 = c² *square root both sides

c = 340

Therefore Ben and Susan are 340 miles apart

Write a rule in coordinate form for the translation from Triangle EFG to Triangle
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the coordinates of F and F'

F (- 3, 4 ) and F' (- 1, 3 )

To go from - 3 → - 1 in the x- directions , means adding 2

To go from 4 → 3 in the y- direction means subtracting 1

Then translation rule is

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 1 )
