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?

5^2 +x^2 = 13^2

25 + x^2 = 169

x^2 = 144

x = sqrt(144) = 12

 they run west for 12 KM

 12+5 = 17 total km

A discovery in New Jersey actually contributed to the
Butoxors [25]

Correct option is B. A discovery in New Jersey actually contributed to the

early economic development of America and, in 1714, a worker uncovered a green rock containing copper.

Here, the use of conjunction 'and' is incorrect as it creates a kind of distortion which seems as if we are talking about two different things: rather then linking the two parts of the sentence, 'and' further disconnects it.

"When" seems better than "And". It clearly indicates the mentioned time. Thus B is the correct answer.

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (1,−8) and (9,2)
Len [333]

Answer: y+3=-\frac{4}{5}(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For it to bisect the segment, we need to find the midpoint.

The midpoint is \left(\frac{1+9}{2}, \frac{-8+2}{2} \right)=(5, -3)

Now, for it to be perpendicular, we need to use the fact that perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

The slope of the given segment is \frac{-8-2}{1-9}=\frac{5}{4}, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -\frac{4}{5}

Thus, the equation of the line in point-slope form is \boxed{y+3=-\frac{4}{5}(x-5)}
