<span>This is a right triangle problem. c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Let b = 7 mi (Rosa's distance from home)
Let a = the east leg (Juan's distance from home
(a+1) = c (hypotenuse, distance between them)

(a+1)^2 = a^2 + 7^2

FOIL (a+1)(a+1)
a^2 + 2a + 1 = a^2 + 49

Combine like terms
a^2 - a^2 + 2a = 49 - 1
2a = 48
a = 

<span>a = 24 mi, Juan's distance from home

Which expression is equivalent to 7 2/3 ⋅ 7 1/4?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that 7^a\cdot 7^b = 7^{a+b}

So now

7^{2/3} \cdot 7^{1/3}\\= 7^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}}\\=7^{\frac{8}{12}+\frac{3}{12}}\\=7^{11/12}
