3 0

Answer:

13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

It may be easier to use a diagram but I am going to try my best to explain without one.

Picture their journey north as one side of a right angle triangle (a). Now picture their journey west as another side (b).

The shortest journey back is the hypotenuse of the triangle (c).

Using pythagoras you can work out the answer

a^{2} + b^{2}  = c^{2}

5^{2} + 12^{2}  = c^{2}\\25 + 144 = c^{2} \\\\169 = c^{2}\\\sqrt{169}  = c^{2}  \\13 = c^{2}

Anarel [89]
Hey there!

In order for you to solve for this equation, you need to multiply. That’s what the “•” is or means!

32 • 35 = ?

None of the above, because 32 times 35 equals 1,120

Answers 1,120 ✅

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

What single transformation was applied to triangle A to get triangle B? Links will be reported​
Alina [70]

Answer:

Rotation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation is usually movements like up, down, left, right.

Dilation is when one shape is bigger/smaller than the other, but still congruent.

Reflections are usually done over an axis (x or y), and don't change the degree at which a shape is turned. From looking at the triangles, you can see that one triangle was turned clockwise.
