Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length we can use the formula

d = sqrt( (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)

We have the two points (-5,5) and (3,-1)

d = sqrt( (-1-5)^2 + (3--5)^2)

d = sqrt( (-6)^2 + (3+5)^2)

d = sqrt( (-6)^2 + (8)^2)

d = sqrt( 36 + 64)

d = sqrt(100)

d = 10

to avoid a large shallow reef a ship set a course from point a and traveled 24 miles east to point b . the ship them turn and tr

Sever21 [200]

First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi

Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from $a$ to $c$ :
$d^2=24^2+33^2$
$d^2=576+1089$
d^2=1665
$d= \sqrt{1665}$
$d=40.8$ mi

Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi

We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved 16.2 miles.</span>
