Answer:

Distance = abs(-1700)

Distance = 1700 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

NYC is located East of Los Angels.

The Airplane flies from Los Angeles to the left direction from NYC.

Which is negative direction.

Therefore, distance = -1700

Here the distance cannot be negative even though if it flies in negative direction.

Therefore, we use the absolute value.

The absolute value of a number is always positive.

So, distace = abs( -1700)

Distance = 1700 miles.

Hope this will help you understand the concept.

Thank you.

For the first blank where it asks for the perimeter, the perimeter is all the outside sides of a shape added up. So, 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 22.

For the second blank, you just multiply the entire perimeter by 5, so, 22 times 5=110.

For the third blank, it is basically the same as the previous question. The answer is 5.

For the fourth blank, it is the same perimeter as the first blank, but instead of centimeters, it is in k. So, 22k.

Hope this helped! :)

36=2(x+2+x)
36=2(2x+2)
=4x+4
4x=32 x=8
∴∴the length =x+2 = 8+2
