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 rectangle has a length of 15 inches less than 5 times it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 2750 square inches. what is
irakobra [83]

let L = length and let W = width.

Use the equations 2L + 2W = 2750

and L = 5W + 15

Then do the steps as follows -

1. Plug the equation for what L equals into the first equation

2(5W+15) + 2W = 2750

2. Then distribute the 2

10W + 30 + 2W = 2750

3. Then add like terms

12W + 30 = 2750

4. Then subtract 30 from both sides

12W = 2720

5. Divide by 12 on both sides

W = 226.67

6. Then plug that into the second equation

L = 5(226.67) + 15

L = 1148.35 should be the answer

What is the reason for each step in the solution of the inequality?<br><br> −2(x+3)−4&gt;4x+30
DochEvi [55]
You would have to first distribute the -2 to the x+3 which gives you -2x-6.  Then you would subtract the 4 which gives you -2x-10 on the left side.  Now you have the equation -2x-10>4x+30.  Move the 4x to the other side giving you         -6x-10>30.  Now add the 10 from the other side which leaves you with -6x>40.  Now remember when you divide by a negative in an inequality, you HAVE TO flip the sign giving you the answer of x<-20/3.

Help please Draw an obtuse angle (labeled BIG) Place a point P inside the angle. Now construct perpendiculars form the point to
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.

___

The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.
