Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.
This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.
If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
The slope of the first equation would be -5/2 because
2y=-5x+8
y=-5x/2+4
The y intercept of the 2nd equation is when x=0, so -7y=10
y=-10/7
The equation of the line would be y=-5x/2-10/7
Or in standard form....
5x/2+y=-10/7
5x+27=-20/7
The horizontal distance is the difference of x-coordinates: 6 - 4 = 2.
The vertical distance is the difference of y-coordinates: -1 - (-2) = 1.
The straight-line distance (d) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, since the vertical and horizontal distances are at right angles to each other.
.. d² = 2² + 1² = 5
.. d = √5 ≈ 2.2
The distance UV is about 2.2.

Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
To get from
5% to 100% you multiply by 20, so multiply the number in this case 39 by 20 percent.
