I'd suggest you sketch this situation. If you did, you'd likely see right away that the shortest distance back to the starting point would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs are of lengths 5 miles and 12 miles.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.
<u>Answer:</u>
The denominator of a fraction is 4 more than the numerator. The original fraction is 
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that
Denominator of fraction is 4 more than the numerator.
Let’s say numerator of fraction be represented by variable x.
So denominator of a faction as it is four more that numerator will be x + 4
Also given if both decreased by three than simplified result is 

Solving above equation for x
=> 7(x – 3 ) = 6 ( x + 1 )
=> 7x – 21 = 6x + 6
=> 7x – 6x = 6 + 21
=> x = 27
Numerator of fraction = x = 27
Denominator of fraction = x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31


Hence the original fraction is

Answer:
b. about 91.7 cm and 44.6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the diagonals can be found using the Law of Cosines.
Consider the triangle(s) formed by a diagonal. The two given sides will form the other two sides of the triangle, and the corner angles of the parallelogram will be the measure of the angle between those sides (opposite the diagonal).
For diagonal "d" and sides "a" and "b" and corner angle D, we have ...
d² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(D)
The measure of angle D will either be the given 132°, or the supplement of that, 48°. We can use the fact that the cosines of an angle and its supplement are opposites. This means the diagonal measures will be ...
d² = 60² +40² -2·60·40·cos(D) ≈ 5200 ±4800(0.66913)
d² ≈ {1988.2, 8411.8}
d ≈ {44.6, 91.7} . . . . centimeters
The diagonals are about 91.7 cm and 44.6 cm.
Greater than! With negative numbers, the number closer to 0 is always the greater value. The number farther away from 0 is the lesser value. When we compare fractions with the same denominator, we have to compare to numerator. -2 is greater than -4, therefore -2/9 is greater than -4/9.
