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.

A friend asked lara to help her divide 456.3 by 100. what should lara tell her? a. move the decimal point three places to the ri
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D.  If we are multiplying by 10 we would move the decimal place one place to the right to show that the number is now 10 times bigger.  If we multiply by one hundred.  We are getting 100 times bigger, so we would move the decimal place 2 places to the right.

The opposite is true if we are dividing.  Instead of moving the decimal to the right to show that the number is getting bigger, we move to the left to show that the number is getting smaller.  If we are getting smaller by 10, we would move the decimal one place to the left. In this case, we are getting 100 times smaller so we move the decimal two places to the left.
