Answer:

26 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 24 miles drive to north.

          10 miles drive to east.

Driving pattern form a right angle triangle, which has three leg including straight line distance from starting point (hypotenous).

Now, using Pythogorean theoram to find straight line distance from starting point.

h²= a²+b²

Where, h is hypotenous

            a is opposite leg

            b is adjacent leg.

⇒h²= 24^{2} + 10^{2}

⇒h^{2} = 576+100

⇒h^{2} = 676

Taking square root on both side, remember; √a²= ±a

⇒h=\sqrt{676}

∴ h= \pm 26

Ignoring -26 as distance cannot be negative.

Hence, 26 miles is the straight line distance from starting point.

A company can send a maximum of 40 workers to complete a
rewona [7]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of the problem, let's make female workers "x" and male workers "y".

x+y<40       This equation shows that the total number of workers has a max of 40.

30x+20y<1,000      This equation shows that the total cost the manager pays ($30 to each woman, $20 to each man) has a max of $1,000.  

Now you can solve for x and y.

X+y<40

-y       -y

X<-y+40

Substitute -y+40 in for X in the second equation

30(-y+40)+20y<1,000      

-30y+1200+20y<1,000         Distribute

-10y+1,200<1,000      Combine like terms

-10y<-200                   Subtract 1,200

y>20                Divide by -10; flip the sign

Since y>20, and y=male workers, you now know that the minimum

number of male workers he should send is 20
