Answer:

The shortest distance from A to C is AC=5\sqrt{13}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The shortest distance from A to C is the hypotenuse of the right triangle AYC

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

AC^{2}=AY^{2} +YC^{2}

step 1

Find the length YC (hypotenuse of the right triangle YBC)

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

YC^{2}=YB^{2} +BC^{2}

substitute the given values

YC^{2}=6^{2} +15^{2}

YC^{2}=261

YC=\sqrt{261}\ units

step 2

Find the shortest distance from A to C

AC^{2}=AY^{2} +YC^{2}

substitute the given values

AC^{2}=8^{2} +\sqrt{261}^{2}

AC^{2}=325

AC=\sqrt{325}\ units

AC=5\sqrt{13}\ units

Maria’s family hosts a barbeque every month in the summer. In May, they bought 3.2 pounds of hamburger and 3 packages of hot dog
Sindrei [870]
Given:

May:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 4.25 = 13.60
hotdogs:     3 packages * 4      = 12
Total cost: 13.60 + 12 = 25.60

June:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 1 1/2 = 4.8 pounds * 4.25 = 20.4
hotdogs:      3 packages * 1/3    = 1 package * 4        =   4
Total cost: 20.4 + 4 = 24.4

25.60 - 24.40 = 1.20

They spent more on May by $1.20. Choice C.
