Answer:

Displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish point 6\sqrt{2} blocks in<u> North-West</u> direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure below shows the movement of person and standard direction taken.

AB represents the movement of person 6 blocks towards north and BC represents the movement of person 6 blocks towards west. A to C defines the distance traveled by the person.

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance covered between two points.

Here, displacement is the distance between point A and C.

Since, angle at B is right angle So, ΔABC is a right angled triangle.

Pythagoras theorem states that in a right angled triangle sum of square of base and perpendicular is equal to the square of hypotenuse.  

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we get

(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2

(AC)^2=(6)^2+(6)^2

(AC)^2=36+36

AC=\sqrt{72}

AC=6\sqrt{2}

Thus, displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish point 6\sqrt{2} blocks in <u>North-West</u> direction.

For the answer to the question above, A person drives north 6 blocks, then drives west 6 blocks. the displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish in <span>8.49 blocks</span> in a Northwest <span>direction.
The Solution:
</span>A^2+B^2=C^2

6*6+6*6 = sqrt(72)

The triangle and square have equal perimeters. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

E. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the triangle = 4x+4x+(x+7)

Perimeter of square = 4(x+3)

We know that the perimeters are equal so we can form an equation to solve for x:

9x+7 = 4x + 12

Now we can subtract 4x from both sides to move the xs to the left side, and the same with the 7 so we have the variable on one side and the constant on the other:

9x+7-7-4x=12+4x-4x-7

5x = 5

Now we divide both sides by 5 to get:

5x/5 = 5/5

x = 1

Now we can use this value to figure out the perimeter of the triangle:

P = 9x + 7

x=1, substitute into equation:

P = 9(1) + 7

P = 16

Hope this helped!

The sail on a souvenir boat is similar in shape to the sail on a sailboat. The sail on the sailboat is in the shape of a right t
Triss [41]

Answer:

1 1/8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sails are similar,  corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so we have the equation

:24/3 = 9/b     where  b = base of the souvenir boat.

Cross multiply:

24b = 9*3

b = 27/24

= 1 1/8 inches.
