Answer:

580 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the walking tour is = 1 mile

Step 1

We have to convert 1 mile to yards

Therefore ,

1 mile = 1760 yards

Step 2

We are told that the group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

The second step would be to find out how many yards is equal to half the distance of the tour.

Half the distance of the tour = 1/2 of a mile

And in step 1 we have converted whole distance of the tour to yards

= 1 mile = 1760 yards.

Hence, Half the distance of the tour = 1760 yards ÷ 2

= 880 yards.

Step 3

The group took a detour that was 300 yards shorter than half the distance of the tour.

This means mathematically,

Half the distance of the tour - 300 yards

= 880 yards - 300 yards

= 580 yards.

Therefore, the detour was 580 yards long.

Help :( I suck at math

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

For some side lengths to create a triangle, any two of the side lengths must have an added length together of less than the third leg. Otherwise, the vertices would simply not be able to be connected by the lines. In a), 3+5=8, but since it is not more, the triangle will not be able to be formed (it would basically just be a line.) In B, 7+8< 16. In C, there is the same situation as with the first example (4+15=19). Finally, in the last one, 5+7>12, and all of the side lengths work out. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Hope this helps!
