The answer would be 8 hours and 35 minutes
Answer:
11.91
Step-by-step explanation:
The question says there is a new line that connects V and T. If this line is drawn, the diagram would have a right-angle triangle. This triangle is called TUV.
In triangle TUV, the side length created by the points VT is the hypotenuse.
For right-angle triangles, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find any side.
It's in the format side² + side² = hypotenuse².
To use the formula, you need to know the length of the other two sides. The length of these sides, because they are exactly horizontal or vertical, is found by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the other (that is not the same).
The lengths of other sides:
VU:
-3 is the same. The length is 3.5 - (-5.75) = 9.25
UT:
-5.75 is the same. The length is 4.5 - (-3) = 7.5
Substitute the lengths into the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
9.25² + 7.5² = c² Simplify
141.8125 = c² Find the square root of both sides to isolate c
c = 11.91 Final answer, length of VT
