The top is a triangle with sides 7 and 5.4 Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the 3rd length.
3rd sides = sqt(7^2 + 5^2( = sqrt(49+25) = sqrt(74)
This side is the base of the lower rectangle.
The dotted line is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve.
sqrt(10^2 + sqrt(74)^2) = sqrt(174)
The dotted line = sqrt(174)
There is a thousand answer to this problem.
Let's do the simplest one here.
f(x) or y = x - 1
f(x) or y = x + 1
f(x) or y = -x
Wait, would this count as a solution? : See the second attachment
2x=6
2 represents the how many flights
x represents how long each was (in hours)
6 represents the total time for each flight( in hours)
Hope this helped!!!
