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.

Find x in this 45°-45°-90° triangle. x = 4.5√2 9 18
postnew [5]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , then

sin45° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{9\sqrt{2} } = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ( cross- multiply )

x × \sqrt{2} = 9\sqrt{2} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{2} )

x = 9

Consider the figure. Determine the value of w.​
AlekseyPX

Answer:

w=67°

Step-by-step explanation:

First you solve for x. 12x+11=x. X would be 1. Then you plug in 1 for x and add the w to the equation. 12(1)+11+w=90. after solving that you will get the total for w. which should be 67°
