Answer:
15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the dock is at the origin on a coordinate plane and each unit is 1 mile. If the boat travels 9 mile due north, that means that we move up from the origin (0, 0) 9 units to point A (0, 9). Now, this boat moves 12 miles due west, so we will go 12 units to the left of (0, 9) to point B (-12, 9). See the attached drawing (sorry for the crudeness).
Notice that this is a right triangle with legs of 9 and 12. That means the distance from the boat to the dock is just the hypotenuse, so use the Pythagorean Theorem: distance = 
Thus, the answer is 15 miles.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
B. d = 5/3t
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is shown in the figure attached with.
We need to find the equation of direct variation using the graph. The general equation for a direction variation is:
y = kx
In this case, the variable along x axis is time in seconds i.e. "t" and the variable along y axis is distance in meters i.e. "d". So, the equation for this case would be:
d = kt
We need to find the value of "k" to complete this equation. For this we can use any point from the graph and substitute it in the above equation. From the graph we can see that the distance covered for time = 3 seconds is 5 meters. Substituting t =3 and d = 5 in above equation, we get:
5 = 3k
k = 5/3
Using the value of k in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, option B gives the correct answer
Answer:
<em>The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Before calculating the real dimensions of Marlien's living room, we must find the value of x.
Given the total shape of the house is a rectangle, then both widths must be equal and both lengths must be equal.
The widths are already written width identical expressions x-2+x, but the lengths are given as different functions of x. Equating both expressions, we have:
Simplifying:
-10 + x - 2 = 2
x = 10 + 2 + 2
x = 14
Since x=14 feet, the dimensions of Marlien's living room are
width=x=14 feet
length=2x+2=30 feet
Thus the area is:
A = 14*30 = 420 square ft
The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft
