I believe the equation shown above is an example of:
B. Associative Property of Addition.
Hope I helped!!
For this case the distance will be given by:
d ^ 2 = (12 * 1.5) ^ 2 + (8 * 1.5) ^ 2
Rewriting we have:
d ^ 2 = (18) ^ 2 + (12) ^ 2
d ^ 2 = 324 + 144
d ^ 2 = 468
d = root (468)
d = 21.63 Km
Answer:
1) She did not find the full distance each traveled in 1.5 hours.
2) She should have used 12 km for Joseph's distance and 18 km for Isabelle's distance.
