Answer:
11.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create a triangle from the information given.
<u>We can call the starting point (0,0) in the coordinate system.</u>
<em><u>See the attached picture. The direct distance is labeled as x.</u></em>
Now we need to find x using pythagorean theorem.
Pythagorean Theorem = leg²+leg²=hypotenuse²
Solving for x:
<em>Rounding to nearest tenth, we have </em><em>11.2 miles</em>
This problem can be directly solved using the hypotenuse formula. Taking 10 mi and 5 mi as the two sides of the triangle, we find for the hypotenuse (distance directly from his home to his place of work):
c^2 = 10^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 100 + 25
c = 11.18 m
<span>c = 11.2 meters</span>

b
(a) 860, (b) 860, (c) 860 and 186
(a) 860
860 ends with a zero or a five, 186 and 863 do not.
(b) 860
860 ends with a zero, 186 and 863 do not.
(c) 860, 186
860, the 0 is even. 186, the 6 is even. 863, the 3 is not even.
the answer is 456 miles per hour
