Answer:
below
Step-by-step explanation:
Just switch the x and the 3
48,000
600/.10
*8 years would be 48,000
Given:
A person leaves work and travels west for 15 miles.
They then turn left and travel south for 10 miles, to their home.
To find:
Distance between work place and home.
Solution:
The person travels west for 15 miles, then travel south for 10 miles.
It means, it forms a right angle triangle with legs 15 and 10.
To find the distance between work place and home we need to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Pythagoras theorem:




Taking square root on both sides.


Therefore, the bird would fly 18.03 miles.
We first find the lines of the motion of each truck, then calculate its intercept.
Garbage truck:
m = (12 - 4) / (5 - 3)
m = 4
4 - y = 4(3 - x)
4x - y = 8
Dump truck:
m = (33 + 3) / (-4 - 5)
m = -4
33 - y = -4(-4 - x)
4x + y = 17
Adding the two equations to solve them, we get:
8x = 25
x = 25 / 8
y = 17 - 4(25/8)
y = 17 - 25/2
y = 9/2
The trucks' point of intersection is (25/8,9/2)
