A car drives 12 miles north, turns, and then drives 8 miles east. How far is the car from its starting point?

1 answer:

3 0

Draw a straight line. Label that 8. Perpendicular to that at one of the endpoints, draw a slightly smaller line. Label that 6. Draw another line from the end of 6 to the end of 8. This is x. To find how far the car went, we use the Pythagorean Theorem. a²+b²=c² so (8*8) + (6*6) = ? (64+36)=100 The square root of 100 is 10. The car is 10 miles away for the starting point.

Answer:

The two triangles are related by angles, so the triangles are similar but not proven to be congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangles have the same angles, they are congruent. The definition of congruence is if you take a shape and scale it up or down (or keep it the same) therefore, they are congruent.

Hope this helped, have a nice day

EDIT: I screwed up, I thought it was supposed to be similar. These triangles are SIMILAR not congruent. The actual answer is they are related by AAA similarity but they are similar, but they are not proven to be congruent. Hope this clears it up, and sorry.

12) the radius is 15 so with the equation (3.14)*r^2, we get (3.14)(15^2)=706.5

13) true, true (if x=4), true

14) y=0.75x+4.50, $8.25

Answer:

The distance is 29.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the distance from the diving board to the bottom of the pool

To get this, we will need to add the height of the diving board above the ground plus the distance of the bottom of the pool below the ground

Mathematically, we can have this as:

12.4 + 16.9

= 29.3 feet
