If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.

artcher [175]
Find the price for each apple by dividing the price over the number of apples. At Quixk Market, each apple costs 1.05/3 or $.35 per apple. 
At Stop and Save, you can buy one apple for 2.45/5 or $.49.
The Quick Market is a better buy because It has $.15 less for each apple. 
Hope this helps.
