Answer:

101 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct path across the stream and perpendicular to both sides of the stream is one leg of a right triangle. The 20 meter distance on the arriving side of the stream is another leg of the right triangle. The path he actually took is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

leg 1 = 99 m

leg 2 = 20 m

hypotenuse = ?

We have a right triangle, and we know the lengths of the two legs. We need to find the length of the hypotenuse, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

99^2 + 20^2 = c^2

9801 + 400 = c^2

c^2 = 10201

c = sqrt(10201) = 101

Answer: 101 meters

Tony allows his customers to create their own pizza. The customers choose exactly one type of crust, sauce, cheese, and meat for
Natalka [10]

In cases like these, you simply have to multiply the choices you have for each step.

In fact, you can choose between 4 different crusts. For each of these crusts you can choose 4 different sauces. This means that there are 4\cdot 4 = 16 choices at this point. In fact, if we call the crust options 1,2,3,4 and the sauce options A,B,C,D, the 16 possible combinations are

1A,\ 1B,\ 1C,\ 1D,\ 2A,\ 2B,\ 2C,\ 2D,\ 3A,\ 3B,\ 3C,\ 3D,\ 4A,\ 4B,\ 4C,\ 4D

From here, you keep going multiplying the number of options for each step, for a total of

4\cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 = 192

Not sure how I would solve this

<h3>Answer:   -6/5</h3>

Explanation:

The blue diagonal line goes through the two points (0,2) and (5,-4). These are shown as the dark blue enlarged points. You can pick any other points you want that are on the diagonal line, though these are the easiest as they stand out the most.

Use the slope formula to find the slope through these points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(5-0)

m = (-6)/(5)

m = -6/5

The negative slope means the line goes downhill as you move from left to right along the diagonal line.
