Answer:

24 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest path between two points is a straight segment that connects the two points.

Refer to the diagram attached. The 6-km segment and the 8-km segment are normal to each other. Together with the segment that joins the library and the house, the three segments now form a right triangle.

  • The two shorter segments are the two legs, and
  • The longer segment that joins the library and the house is the hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem.

\begin{aligned}\text{Hypotenuse} &= \sqrt{(\text{Leg 1})^{2} + (\text{Leg 2})^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{6^{2} + 8^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{36 + 64} \\&= \sqrt{100}\\&= \rm 10\;km\end{aligned}.

The length of the round-trip will equal to the sum of the length of the three segments: \rm 6\;km + 8\;km + 10\;km = 24\;km.

What does OD=<br> Pls answer
Elodia [21]

Answer:

OD = 9.375"

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw a line from O to B to create a triangle.

Then, Triangle ODB and Triangle ACB are similar, so their corresponding side's ratio are similar as well.

Triangle ACB, we can use pythagorean theorem to figure out CB:

AC^2 + CB^2 = AB^2

15^2 + CB^2 = 17^2

225 + CB^2 = 289

CB^2 = 64

CB = 8

Now relating the corresponding sides, we can figure out OD:

\frac{OD}{DB}=\frac{AC}{CB}\\\frac{OD}{8-3}=\frac{15}{8}\\\frac{OD}{5}=\frac{15}{8}\\8OD=5*15\\OD=\frac{5*15}{8}\\OD=9.375
