Answer:

  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two legs of Deborah's hike form the right-angle legs of a right triangle. The shortest distance is then the hypotenuse of that triangle, found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 +16 = 25

  d = √25 = 5

Deborah ends 5 miles from her start.

Answer:

It was helpful to construct points D and A to be the same distance from C because it gives you an equal arc on both sides, which will intersect twice, forming a colinear line that is perpendicular to line AB.

Write and solve an equation to find the unknown side length x (in feet).
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

11.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the value of 'x' and we are asked to set up an equation to find the value of x. In equation we must remember to get all the numerical values to one side and all the non-numerical values to the other while remembering to keep the equation balanced for example if we add 4 on one side we must do it to the other side to keep the equation balanced so,

→ x + 5.2 + 11.1 + 6.4 = 34.6

⇒ Simplify equation

→ x + 22.7 = 34.6

⇒ Minus 22.7 from both sides to isolate x

→ x = 11.9 feet
