The distance the ships traveled are like the legs of a triangle and the question wants to know the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse, use the pythagorean theorem. this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a and b being the legs and c being the <span>hypotenuse.
</span>Plug in known values:
84^2 + 62^2 = c^2
Solve:
84^2 = 7056
62^2 = 3844
7056 + 3844 = c^2
7056 + 3844 = 10900
10900 = c^2
Now you just need to isolate c by finding the square root of both sides.
√10900 = 104.403
√c^2 = c

So c = 104.403, or just 104.40 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
And if c is 104.40, then that means the hypotenuse is 104.40.
And all of that basically means that the distance between the ships is 104.40 miles.

Solve for x going step by step .
OleMash [197]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that  the angle is equal to 1/2 the difference of the long arc length between where the line segments touch the circle and the small  arc length where the line segments touch the circle

They long distance is 360 - (86+74) = 200

The small distance is 86

4x+13 = 1/2 ( 200  - 86)

4x+13 = 1/2 (114)

4x+13 = 57

Subtract 13 from each side

4x+13-13 = 57-13

4x= 44

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x=11

What is 3/8 plus 1/12
Delvig [45]
first what you have to do you have to find the common denominator which is 24
it's 24 because 8 times 3 equals 24 and 12 times 2 equals 24 so they have a like denominator so what you have to do to the bottom you have to do to the top so 8 times 3 is 24 so 3 times 3 is 9 so the new fraction is 9/24. Then 1/12 12×2=24 and 1×2= 2 so the new fraction is 2/24. that would leave you with the problem of 9/24 + 2/24 which is 11/ 24
