The last two are not ways to decompose 1 3/4 since
3/4 + 5/4 =8/4 which equals 2, so it's not 1 3/4
and 1+ 1/2 + 2/2 (=1) so it's 1+ 1/2+ 1= 2 1/2
First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi
Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from
to
:
d^2=1665
mi
Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi
We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved
16.2 miles.</span>
Answer:
l = P/2 - w
Explanation:
P=2(l+w)
Let’s divide both sides by 2
P/2=l+w
Let’s subtract w from both sides
(P/2)-w=l
