Answer: 7.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
think of it as a triangle; the bold line is the hypotenuse, or x.
8 |\ x
|_\ it's not a good triangle but you get the point
6
and then get out pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
put the numbers in: 8^2 + 6^2 = x^2
do some math:
64+36=x^2
100=x^2 (and then find square root)
10=x
<u>BUT</u>, it said each unit was 3/4 of a mile, so we must multiply 10 by 3/4 to get the actual distance, which is 7.5
The correct answer is

In fact, this is a trinomial of the form

, whose solutions are given by

Using this formula for the trinomial of the problem, we find:

<span>we see that this trinomial has two coincident solutions (x=3 with multiplicity 2). This means that it can be rewritten as a perfect square, in the following form:
