We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
8² + 12² = c²
64 + 144 = c²
c = √208 ≈ 14.42
14.42 - 12 = 2.42 in
The direct distance between the lizard and the cactus is 2.42 inches.
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 20 = 4
add 20 to both sides
3x - 20 + 20 = 4 + 20
3x = 24
divide both sides by 3
= 
x = 8
In math, "of" almost always means "times".
So your question is: 3/7 times (the number) = 9
Multiply each side of that equation by 7 : 3 times (the number) = 63
Divide each side by 3 : <em> The number = 21</em>
