Answer:

C. 144 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the truck traveled from the warehouse to the airport and then to factory.

First we will find the distance between the warehouse and the airport using the 'Distance formula'.

'Distance Formula' gives the distance between two points (x_{1},y_{1}) and  (x_{2},y_{2}) by \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}.

As, from the graph, we have,

Warehouse is located at (27,-36) and Airport is located at (-27,36).

So, the distance between them is,

\sqrt{(-27-27)^{2}+(36-(-36))^{2}}

i.e. \sqrt{(-27-27)^{2}+(36+36)^{2}}

i.e. \sqrt{(-54)^{2}+(72)^{2}}

i.e. \sqrt{2916+5814}

i.e. \sqrt{8100}

i.e. 90

So, the distance from warehouse to the airport is 90 miles.

<em>Moreover, as the truck further traveled to the factory which is 72 miles north of the warehouse.</em>

So, the factory is located at (27,72-36) i.e. (27,36).

Then, the distance from the airport (-27,36) to the factory is (27,36) is,

\sqrt{(27+27)^{2}+(36-36)^{2}}

\sqrt{54^{2}+0^{2}}

\sqrt{2916}

54

So, the distance from airport to the factory is 54 miles.

Thus, the total distance traveled by the truck is 90 + 54 = 144 miles.

Hence, option C is correct.

What is the value of x enter your answer in the box.
ira [324]
We can use vertical opposite angles. Which means the opposite angles where 2 lines intersects is the same.
3x + 50 = 6x - 10 (vert. Opp. Angles)
3x = 6x - 60
-3x = - 60
X = 20°
