How can I solve the radical equation
1 answer:
I attached a picture, see if you can see what I'm doing. Basically, I start by squaring everything to get rid of the radical, but just remember at the end to always, always check your answers, because squaring your answers could get rid of some negative numbers that could result in imaginary answers. The answer I came up with was a=5,-2

Answer:
As per the statement:
Hawick is 15 miles south of Abbotsford, and Kelso is 17 miles east of Abbotsford.
Let H represents Hawick , A represents Abbotsford and K represents Kelso
See the diagram as shown below:
Distance of AH = 15 miles
Distance of AK = 17 miles.
We have to find the distance HK:
Using Pythagoras theorem;
then;
or
miles.
Therefore, the distance from Hawick to Kelso( to the nearest tenth place) is 22.6 miles
