Answer:
<em>The gold vein is 96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Distance Between two Points in the Plane
</u>
Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

The prospector positioned the gold vein at (-2,9) and the farthest gold dust strike at (94,9). We are required to calculate the distance between these two points. Use the formula:



The distance is 96 units, but we know each unit on the graph represents 1 mile, thus the gold vein is 96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.
Try this option:
1. the sides of the biggest triangle are 16; x and √(16²-x²); the sides of the smallest triange are x;5 and y. The smallest triangle ~ the biggest triangle. Using the property of the similar triangles:

2. according to the Pyphagorean theorem (in the smallest triangle):

answer: y=√55.
And the question is......................
Distance formula : sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
(212,23)...x1 = 212 and y1 = 23
(6,23)......x2 = 6 and y2 = 23
now we sub
d = sqrt ((6 - 212)^2 + (23 - 23)^2)
d = sqrt ((- 206)^2 + (0^2))
d = sqrt (42436 + 0)
d = sqrt 42436
d = 206 miles <==
