The complete question: <span>Megan bikes 6 miles west to get from her apartment to school. After school, she bikes 8 miles north to her friend's house. How far is Megan's apartment from her friend's house, measured in a straight line?

So,Megan's apartment, the school, and Megan's friend's house form a right triangle with legs 6 miles and 8 miles as you can see in the attached picture; the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the straight distance is from Megan's apartment to her friend's house. To find that distance we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem:
</span>h= \sqrt{(6mi)^2+(8mi)^2}
h= \sqrt{36mi^2+64mi^2}
h= \sqrt{100mi^2}
h=10mi
<span>
We can conclude that distance between Megan's apartment and her friend's house is 10 miles.</span>

0.24 times 0.4<br> Equals
Komok [63]

That would be 0.24(0.4). First, estimate the result: 0.24 is about 1/4, and (1/4)(0.4) is about 0.1.

0.24(0.4) = 0.096 (which agrees with the estimated answer, 0.1).

An object is thrown upward from the top of 80 ft tower.The height h of the object after t seconds is represented by the quadrati
Sedaia [141]

Answer:The object will hit the ground after 5 seconds


Step-by-step explanation:

Given height of tower =80 ft

h=-16t^{2}+64t+80

When the object will hit the ground its height=0

0=-16t^{2}+64t+80

Multiplying both sides by -1

16t²-64t-80=0

Dividing by 16 both sides

t²-4t-5=0

(t-5)(t+1)=0

t=5 or -1

So t=5 since time cannot be negative

The object will fall after 5 seconds
