Keith left his house, rode his bike 3 miles along one road, took a 90 degree turn and rode 3 miles to the local swimming pool. I

f he had ridden directly to the pool, how much distance would he have saved? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.

Answer:

1.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out the total distance he has actually ridden: 3 + 3 = 6 miles.

Now, let's draw this out (see attachment). Notice that if Keith rode his bike directly to the pool, we'd have a right triangle with legs 3 and 3 and with the hypotenuse as the direct path.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to figure out the hypotenuse length:

c = √(3² + 3²) = √(9 + 9) = √18 = 3√2 ≈ 4.2 miles

Subtract this from 6:

6 - 4.2 = 1.8

The answer is 1.8 miles.

Answer:

1.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.

 We know:

 Length of the sides of the triangle

 We want to know:

 Length of the hypotenuse

 Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

 d=\sqrt{3^{2} +3^{2} }\\d = \sqrt{2(3^2)} \\d = 3\sqrt{2} \\d = 4.2 miles

 Then, the distance that he would have saved if he travels directly is:

 3 + 3 - 4.2 = 1.8 miles

 Answer:

 he would have saved:

 1.8 miles

Please help me i will give brainlist to the correct answer​
mestny [16]

Answer:

<ABC = 27

< BAC = 126

Step-by-step explanation:

<C = <B since it is an isosceles triangle.  We know this since AC - AB

<C = 27 so <ABC = 27

The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180

A + B+ C = 180

A + 27+27 = 180

A + 54 =180

A = 180-54

A =126

< BAC = 126
