If runners in a long distance race were to run straight from the starting line to the finish line they would run 13 kilometers.

However, the road they run makes them travel longer than that. They must run 5 kilometers south and then head west "x" kilometers for the remainder of the race. How far do the runners travel?

This "road" they are running is basically an L-shape, and combined with the direct distance from start to end forms a triangle. This triangle has a hypotenuse of 13 (since the direction of the road changes from south to west, we can pretty much assume that it is a right triangle with legs of 5 and X.)
 So to find X, we use the Pythagorean Theorem.
a²+b²=c²

(5)²+X²=13²
25+X²=169
X²=144
Distance cannot be negative, so we know that X=12. This is the length of the remainder of the road.
To find total distance, just add the two lengths of road together.
5+12=17

The height of a trapezoid is 8 inches and its area is 96 in one base of the trapezoid is 6 inches longer than the other base wha
yan [13]
First is to get the given data that we might be able to use for computation.
H = 8 inches
Area = 96
B1 = B1
B2 = B1+6

Next is to know the area of a trapezoid
Area = H x (B1 + B2)/2
96 = 8 x (B1 + B1 + 6) / 2
96 = 8 x (2B1 + 6) /2
96 = 4 x (2B1 + 6)
14 = 2B1 + 6
2B1 = 8
B1 = 4
B2 = 10

The circle below is centered at (4,-1) and has a radius of 3. What is it’s equation?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written using a kinda of fill-in-the-blank method if you know the coordinates of the center and the radius.

If the center is (h,k) and the radius is r, then fill in those given numbers into:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 =r^2

The center of your circle is (4, -1).

Fill in 4 for the h, -1 for the k and 3 for the r.

(x-4)^2+(y- -1)^2= 3^2

Simplify.

(x-4)^2+(y+1)^2=9
