Answer:

26.1miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If three cities A, B and C form a right triangle on a map, and the Cities B and C are the furthest apart, then the distance between cities B and C will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

If cities A and B are 14 miles apart, then |AB| = 14miles

Also if cities A and C are 22 miles apart, then |AC| = 22miles.

To get |BC| which is the distance between cities B and C, we will use the Pythagoras theorem.

|BC|² = |AB|² + |AC|²

|BC|² = 14²+22²

|BC|² = 196+484

|BC|² = 680

|BC| = √680

|BC| = 26.1miles

This means that cities B and C are 26.1miles apart

Whats the answer to 1/2(5×-8)=-9
REY [17]

Answer:

I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both

If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9

If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(5 * -8) = -9

(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9

(5 * -8)/2 = -9

-40/2 = -9

-20 = -9

-20 ≠ -9

1/2(5x - 8) = -9

1(5x -8)/2 = -9

(5x - 8)/2 = -9

2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2

2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -18

    +8    +8

------------------

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2

Jade takes 5 minutes more than twice as long as Binh to ride to their friend’s house. If Binh takes x minutes to ride to his fri
skad [1K]

Answer:

It will take Jade (2x + 5) minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the expression that represents the time Jade will take

∵ Binh takes x minutes to ride to his friend’s house

∴ The time Binh takes = x minutes

∵ 5 more means + 5

∵ Twice means × 2

∵ Jade takes 5 minutes more than twice as long as Binh to ride to their

   friend’s house

→ Multiply the time Binh takes by 2 and add the product by 5

∵ Binh takes x minutes

∴ The time Jade takes = 2 × x + 5

∴ The time Jade takes = 2x + 5 minutes

∴ It will take Jade (2x + 5) minutes
