Answer:
15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the dock is at the origin on a coordinate plane and each unit is 1 mile. If the boat travels 9 mile due north, that means that we move up from the origin (0, 0) 9 units to point A (0, 9). Now, this boat moves 12 miles due west, so we will go 12 units to the left of (0, 9) to point B (-12, 9). See the attached drawing (sorry for the crudeness).
Notice that this is a right triangle with legs of 9 and 12. That means the distance from the boat to the dock is just the hypotenuse, so use the Pythagorean Theorem: distance =
Thus, the answer is 15 miles.

Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call:
: the number of large cars.
: the number of small cars.
Then, you can set up the following system of equations:
You can use the Elimination Method:
- Multiply the first equation by -4.0
- Add both equations.
- Solve for l.
