Imagine the paths as a right triangle with one leg measuring 8 miles and the other 5. You need to find the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem, so take 8 squared + 5 squared equals x squared, which gives you 64+25=89, then find the square root of 89 which is 9.433981132
Answer:
Average speed =
miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to calculate the average speed of an object is,
Average speed = 
If I travel with the speed of x mph for t hours,
Total distance covered = Speed × Time
=
=
miles
Similarly, if I travel with the speed y mph for t hours,
Total distance covered =
miles
Total distance covered by me =
miles
Total time taken to cover this distance = 
=
hours
Therefore, expression for the average speed will be,
Average speed = 
= 
=
miles per hour
Using the Pythagorean theorem
C = sqrt( 9^2 + 40^2)
C = sqrr(81 + 1600)
C = sqrt(1681)
C = 41 cm
10)
200 / 5 = 40
answer
p >= 40
11)
$15 per hour
so
15p >= 200
solve for p
p >= 200/15
p >= 13.33 or p?= 13 1/3
minimum hours = 13.33 or 13 1/3
