The straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance covered towards north, n = 9 miles

Distance covered towards east, e = 40 miles

Distance from the origin to the end, x = ?

If we imagine this, then the route forms a right angle triangle

where,

n is the height

e is the base

x is the hypotenuse

Using pythagoras theorm:

(x)² = (n)² + (e)²

(x)² = (9)² + (40)²

(x)² = 1681

x = 41 miles

Therefore, the straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

14 kg of apples cost $154.how much would 16kg cost
ankoles [38]
We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.
