Answer:
He must lose 4.4 pounds per week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Buffalo Bill currently weighs 202 lb. He wants to weigh 180 lbs for his reunion.
This means that he needs to lose 202 - 180 = 22 lb.
35 days from today.
Each week has 7 days. So this is 35/7 = 5 weeks from now.
How many pounds per week must he lose?
22 pounds in 5 weeks, that is 22/5 = 4.4 pounds per week.
Take a ruler and put it on your desk and mesure from the centimeter side!!
All we need to do is plug the numbers into the equation.
A:

Not A.
B:

Not B.
C:

C is the correct answer
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
