The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.
Explanation
The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.
The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.
to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.
height h=8 miles
base b=5 miles
using pythagoras theorem

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
Answer:
area of each triangular base = 24
area of bottom rectangular face = 160
area of back rectangular face = 120
area of sloped rectangular face = 200
Total = 504

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I don’t know why they bother teaching recursive formulas as the explicit is almost always used :)
For 2,9,16,23...
Recursive is a(n+1)=an+7
Explicit is an=2+7(n-1)
(or more neatly an=7n-5)
For 2,14,98,686...
Recursive is a(n+1)=7an
Explicit is an=2(7^(n-1))
(or (2/7)7^n )
