Given:

A person leaves work and travels west for 15 miles.

They then turn left and travel south for 10 miles, to their home.

To find:

Distance between work place and home.

Solution:

The person travels west for 15 miles, then travel south for 10 miles.

It means, it forms a right angle triangle with legs 15 and 10.

To find the distance between work place and home we need to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicualr^2

(OB)^2=(15)^2+(10)^2

(OB)^2=225+100

(OB)^2=325

Taking square root on both sides.

OB=\sqrt{325}

OB=\approx 18.03

Therefore, the bird would fly 18.03 miles.

The length of the box is 2x - 2 and the width is x - 5. Find the perimeter. (HINT: p= 2L + 2W) Choose one.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of the box = L = 2x-2

Width of the box = W = x-5

Perimeter is defined by the sum of length of all sides of the box.

Perimeter of the box = P = 2L + 2W

Perimeter of box = 2(2x-2) + 2(x-5)

Perimeter = 4x-4+2x-10

Perimeter = 6x-14

The perimeter of the box is 6x-14.

Hence,

Option D: 6x-14 is the correct answer.
