Answer:
178
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the Hypotenuse
30^2+72^2=78^2
Use perimeter formula
a+b+c
38+72+30
The total distance will be 8685.2 kilo meters if she travelled by plane
Given that the two watchtowers spotted fire in the distance and watch tower 2 was 27 miles from the fire. Assuming that the fire is in the middle of both watch towers, then the distance between the two watch towers will be given by:
distance=[distance of fire from watch tower 1]+[distance of fire from watch tower 2]
=27+27
=53 miles
The slope for 1 is 3/9 or 1/3 so the equation can be y-0=1/3(x-0)
and for 2 the slope is -2/-8 or 1/4 and the equation is y-0=1/4(x-0)
