Answer: 19 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between the hiker and the camp) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

x^2 = 6^2 + 18^2  

x^2 = 36+324

x^2 = 360

x = √360

x = 18.97miles = 19 miles

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

81000 people went to Bonnaroo.

192000 people went to Lollapalooza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people attending festivals, N=273000

Number of people attending Lollapalooza is 30,000 more than twice the people attending Bonnaroo.

Unknown:

Number of people attending Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.

Let the number of people attending Bonnaroo be x.

Therefore, the number of people attending Lollapalooza is equal to 30000+2x

Evaluate:

Sum of people attending Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza is equal to the total number of people attending the festivals. So,

x+30000+2x=N\\3x+30000=273000\\3x=273000-30000\\3x=243000\\x=\frac{243000}{3}=81000

Substitute and Solve:

Now, we have, x=81000.

Substitute 81000 for x and solve for the number of people attending both the festivals. This gives,

Number of people attending Bonnaroo = x=81000

Number of people attending Lollapalooza = 30000+2x=30000+2(81000)=30000+162000=192000

Therefore, 81000 people went to Bonnaroo and 192000 people went to Lollapalooza.
