Answer:
what does it say.........................
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
The correct answer would be Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every month. Every month Victoria read for 15 minutes more, than she did the previous month, but Zach read 2 times more minutes, than he did the month before.
Step-by-step explanation:
it's like the y in an equation
Only the dividend is stated. there's no divisor
