For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We know:
Length of the sides of the triangle
We want to know:
Length of the hypotenuse
Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

Rewriting the expression we have:

Then, the distance that he would have saved if he travels directly is:
Answer:
he would have saved:
1.8 miles
"Percent" - For details read the explanation given below.
percentages compare numbers in the numerator to 100 and the ratio that compares a number to 100 is logically called percent.
√4 + √16 = 2 + 4 = 6 <--- rational
√5 + √36 = √5 + 6 <--- irrational
√9 + √24 = 3 + √24 <--- irrational
2 * √4 = 2 * 2 = 4 <--- rational
√49 * √81 = 7 * 9 = 63 <---rational
3√12 = 3√(4 * 3) = (3 * 2)√3 = 6√3 <---irrational
Hope this helps ^-^
Answer:
Subtraction property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
c + 5 = 78
Subtract 5 from each side using the subtraction property of equality
c+5-5 = 78-5
x = 73
Yes....because a terminating decimal can be turned into a fraction, making it rational
