Answer:

B. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

— Estimating

The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.

The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.

Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.

____

— Detailed calculation

The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.

The circuit length is ...

AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters

Find the variable 5x+8=3x
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

-4 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+8=3x

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x+8=3x-5x

8 = -2x

Divide by -2

8/-2 = -2x/-2

-4 =x

Simplify the expression. (3x/y)^-3
AysviL [449]

Answer:

y^3/(27 x^3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

((3 x)/y)^(-3)

((3 x)/y)^(-3) = (y/(3 x))^3:

(y/(3 x))^3

Multiply each exponent in y/(3 x) by 3:

(y^3)/((3 x)^3)

Multiply each exponent in 3 x by 3:

y^3/(3^3 x^3)

3^3 = 3×3^2:

y^3/(3×3^2 x^3)

3^2 = 9:

y^3/(3×9 x^3)

3×9 = 27:

Answer:  y^3/(27 x^3)
