Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The diagonal or shortcut that he found represents the hypotenuse of each right angle triangle. The number of blocks he used to walk due due east and north represents the adjacent and opposite sides of the right angle triangle. To determine the number of blocks he would have to walk when he takes the shortcut,d, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 7² + 3²

d² = 49 + 9 = 58

d = √58

d = 7.6 blocks

The normal distance is

3 + 7 = 10 blocks

The number of blocks by which the shortcut is shorter than walking the blocks is

10 - 7.6 = 2.4

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.4 units shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

3 blocks east and 7 blocks north.

Process

1.- Calculate the distance walking the blocks

     distance = 3 + 7

     distance = 10

2.- Calculate when walking diagonally using the pythagorean theorem

     distance² =  3² + 7²

     distance² = 9 + 49

     distance² = 58

     distance = 7.62

3.- Calculate the difference of distances

     Δd = 10 - 7.62

     Δd = 2.38 units

Renting a room at the Willow tree resort costs $125 for 2 people. Each additional person is $25. Write an expression that shows
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Let C be the cost for the people staying

if n <= 2 ;  C = $125

If n >2 ;  C =  $125 + $25 * (n-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of people is more than two, we need to add $25 for each of them.

Since n will be the number of people staying, we need to make sure that we substract two from this term to avoid overcharging the guests when there is less than two people.

So

(n-2) is the term that should be multiplied by a factor of 25.
