Answer:

The equation for the distance Jane's trainer bikes is x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have attached diagram for your reference.

Given:

Distance traveled on bike towards south = 16 miles

Distance she ran towards west = 12 miles

We need to find distance Jane's trainer bikes.

Solution:

Let the distance Jane's trainer bike be 'x'.

Now we will assume it to be right angled triangle.

So by Pythagoras theorem which states that;

"Square of the third side is equal to the sum of square of the other two sides."

framing in equation form we get;

x^2=16^2+12^2\\\\x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}

Hence the equation for the distance Jane's trainer bikes is x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}.

On solving we get;

x=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}\\\\x= \sqrt{256+144}\\ \\x=\sqrt{400} \\\\x=20\ miles

Hence Jane's trainer bikes a distance of 20 miles.

before getting to school john has a few errands to run john has to walk 5 blocks to the galley and 9 blocks to the library befor
Serggg [28]

Answer:

  9 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of what John has already walked and the number more he must walk will be equal to the number he has to walk to get to school.

  12 + more = 5 + 9 + 7

  more = 9 + 5 + 7 - 12 . . . . . subtract 12 from both sides

  more = 9

John must walk 9 blocks more.

_____

We recognize that 5+7 = 12, so that last part of the sum totals zero.
