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.

A car travels 3 times around a traffic circle whose radius is 80 feet. What is the distance the car will travel? Use 3.14 for π
Harman [31]

Answer : Distance will be 1507.2 feet .

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Radius of circle = 80 feet

So,

Circumference of circle is given by

2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 80=502.4 \text{ feet}

Since , a car travels 3 times around a traffic circle.

So,

\text{ Distance covered by the car will travel}= 3\times 502.4= 1507.2 \text{ feet }

So, Distance will be 1507.2 feet .

Simplify, THEN evaluate for x = 3, y = -4, and z= -2.<br> 7(x - y) - 3(2 + 2x)
Tamiku [17]

Answer:  25

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

   7(x - y) - 3(2 + 2x)

= 7x - 7y  - 6  - 6x

=   x - 7y  - 6

for x = 3, y = -4

      3 - 7(-4) - 6

=     3 + 28  - 6

=         31     - 6

=             25

Since A= 56 then B=56 so A+B=112

The whole tringle must be 180 degrees

So 180-112=68

SO C=68
