Answer:

(A)6 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\17^2=a^2+15^2\\a^2=17^2-15^2\\a^2=289-225\\a^2=64\\a^2=8^2\\a=8$ km

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.

The output is four times the input
juin [17]
O=4i (is that was you were asking about) 

edit: sorry that wasn't very detailed say if the input is 4 the output will be 16 or if the input is 100 the output will be 400. So mainly what ever the input is multiply it by 4.

I hope this helps :)
