Washington is 44 miles south of Lawrence. and midland is 63 miles east of Lawrence.
1 answer:
Answer:
C: 77 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The points form a right triangle triangle with the legs being 44 and 63 and the distance between Washington and Midland being the hypotenuse.
See graph and connect the dots.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
44^2 + 63^2 = c^2
1936 + 3969 = c^2
5905 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
76.84399781
Rounding to the nearest mile
77 miles

Now, if we consider the 9.9 inches side as the base, then the height is the one labeled with 5.5 inches.
If instead we choose the 11 inches side as the base, the height is h.
So, we can express the area in this two equivalent ways:
Solving for h, we have
