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

If two sides in one triangle are 9 and 21 , then the third side might be
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a rule that says that if you add any 2 sides, it should be more than the third. 9+21 is greater than 13. 21+13 is greater than 9. 13 is the only number which if you add 9 to it it will be greater than 21. 12 will equal 21, but it still wont work.

hope this helps :))
