Answer:

The distance of the helicopter from the bristol is approximately 1<u>2.81 miles</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Helicopter flies 10 miles east of bristol.

Then the helicopter flies 8 miles North before landing.

To find the direct distance between the helicopter and bristol.

Solution:

In order to find the distance of the helicopter from the bristol before landing, we will trace the path of the helicopter

The helicopter is first heading 10 miles east of bristol and then going 8 miles due north.

On tracing the path of the helicopter we find that the direct distance of the helicopter from the bristol is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by enclosing the path of the helicopter.

Applying Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Hypotenuse^2=Short\ leg^2+Shortest\ leg^2

Hypotenuse^2=10^2+8^2

Hypotenuse^2=100+64\\Hypotenuse^2=164

Taking square root both sides.

\sqrt{Hyptenuse^2}=\sqrt{164}\\Hypotenuse = 12.81\ miles

Thus, the distance of the helicopter from the bristol is approximately 12.81 miles

The average rate of change is -5 per month

<h3>How to determine the average rate of change?</h3>

The interval is given as:

July to December

From the graph, we have:

July = 110

December = 30

The average rate of a function over the interval (a, b) is calculated as:

Rate = [f(b) - f(a)]/[b - a]

So, we have:

Rate = (30 - 110)/(December- July)

This gives

Rate = (30 - 110)/(12 - 7)

Evaluate

Rate = -16

Hence, the average rate of change is -5 per month
