-12 I just did this question In class
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I know the answer is 26 miles but I cannot figure out how they came up with that answer using the distance formula.It looks like you need to find the shortest distance (as the crow flies) between the home and the office.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
6^2 + 10^2 = c^2
136 = c^2
11.67 = c
4^2 + 14^2 = c^2
212 = c^2
14.56 = c
11.67 + 14.56 = 26.2 = 26 miles
The two equations are vertical angles, which mean they are equal.
Set each equation to equal each other and solve for x.
3x-3 = 6(x-10)
Simplify the right side:
3x-3 = 6x-60
Subtract 3x from each side:
-3 = 3x - 60
Add 60 to each side:
57 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 57 / 3
x = 19
