Answer: 2.2 units</h3>
============================================
Explanation:
I'll define these point labels
- B = Blake's starting position
- F = finish line
- C = the third unmarked point of the triangle
The locations of the points are
- B = (-8,1)
- C = (-6,-3)
- F = (4,-2)
Use the distance formula to find the distance from B to C

Segment BC is roughly 4.47214 units long.
Following similar steps, you should find that segment CF is approximately 10.04988 units long.
If Blake doesn't take the shortcut, then he travels approximately BC+CF = 4.47214+10.04988 = 14.52202 units. This is the path from B to C to F in that order.
---------
Use the distance formula again to find the distance from B to F. This distance is about 12.36932 units. He travels this amount if he takes the shortcut.
Subtract this and the previous result we got
14.52202 - 12.36932 = 2.1527
That rounds to 2.2
This is the amount of distance he doesn't have to travel when he takes the shortcut.
In other words, the track is roughly 2.2 units shorter when taking the shortcut.
Side note: Replace "units" with whatever units you're working with (eg: feet or meters).
Answer:
85 units^2 = Area of Blue Square
and
x = 5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this we use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). a and b represent the legs of the triangle whereas c represents the longest side of the triangle, or the hypotenuse.
Since we know the area of a square is the side length multiplied by itself (or the side length squared),
is the side length of the pink square and
is the side length of the green square.
That means a =
and b =
, so...

35 + 50 = c^2
85 = c^2

Now we need to square the square root of 85 to find the area of the blue square.

85 units^2 = Area of Blue Square
To solve the other question we use the same formula again.

x = 5 units
