To find the distance between her home and her latest position:
According to the question, the diagram is,
Consider the right triangle,
AB=120 km
BC=50 km
To find AC:
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Hence, the distance between the new position and her home is 130 km.
This is an isosceles triangle. The angles at the base are congruent (they have the same measures).
Look at the picture.
We know: The sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is equal 180°.
Therefore we have the equation:
<em>combine like terms</em>
<em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 7</em>
