Question

Formula is area equals 1/2bh for triangle

Answer 1

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the two cities. This theorem is $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse of the trinagle. Therefore:

$14^2 + b^2 = 50^2$

$196 + b^2 = 2500$

$b^2 = 2304$

$b = \sqrt{2304}$

$b = 48$

Thus, the answer is B, 48 miles.

Answer 2

Your answer is B. 48 miles. This is because the formula a² + b² = c² can be used to find the hypotenuse, which means the formula
a² - c² = b² can be used to find the side of a right triangle. This means that we can do
50² - 14² = 2304, and then we square root it to get 48.
I hope this helps!
