Isiah is 5.83 miles away from his starting point.

When you draw the the miles Isaiah walks, you will discover that you are forming a right angle triangle.

To measure the length from the starting point to the ending point. We must used the Pythagorean equation. Where in the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

a² + b² = c²

a = 3 miles                        3² + 5² = c²
b = 5 miles                        9  + 25 = c²
c = hypotenuse.                    34    = c²
 
We must get the hypotenuse, since 34 is the square of the hypotenuse we must look for its square root.

c² = 34
c = √34
c = 5.83 miles

The perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is 28 in and the ratio of lengths of its bases is 5:3. Find the lengths of the sides of
Natalka [10]
The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Let x = length of base and leg

The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base

       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
     28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
    2.8 = x

Now, substitute the values:
       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
     28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
     28 = 28

Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Ket [755]

Answer:

z = 32/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Presuming all the horizontal lines are parallel, the ratios of lengths will be identical.

3/8 = 4/z

3z = 8(4)

z = 32/3
