Answer:
(A)6 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Therefore:
Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km
Distance along the shortcut =17 km
Difference =23-17 =6km
Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.

Answer:
5 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-4•6/7•-5/3
Put the numbers as fractions
-4/1•6/7•-5/3
Rewriting
-4/1 * 6/3 * -5/7
Simplifying the middle fraction
-4/1 * 2/1 * -5/7
Multiply the first two terms
-8/1 * -5/7
Multiplying
40/7
Changing from an improper fraction to a mixed number
7 goes into 40 5 times with 5 left over
5 5/7
The triangle has height 4.6 mm and its base has length 3.4 mm, so its area is
1/2 • 4.6 mm • 3.4 mm = 7.82 mm²
