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.

Determine whether the relation describe c as a function of w.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Function:

c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1

            = 0.70,  1 < w ≤ 2

            = 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the relation described can be interpreted as a function.

Here, c is the cost of a mail letter. c depends upon w, which is the weights of the mail letter.

As described in the question, the relation can be expressed as a function.

c can be expressed as a function of w in the following manner:

c(cost of mail) = f(w), where w is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable

c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1

            = 0.70,  1 < w ≤ 2

            = 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3

where, c is in dollars and w is in ounces.

How to solve it with walk through steps
mario62 [17]
You can say

x+y=5
x=5-y

You know the value of x, put it into the next equation.

3(5-y)-7y=19
15-3y-7y=19
15-19 = 10y
-4=10y
-4/10=y
-2/5=y

Put y value back into either equation to find value of x.

x+y=5
x-2/5=5
x=5+2/5
x=27/5

Therefore, x,y = (27/5, -2/5)

Hope I helped :)

What is CD? Show steps please!
Romashka [77]

Answer:

\large\boxed{CD=2\sqrt6\ cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔDAC and ΔDCB are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{CD}{DA}=\dfrac{DB}{CD}

We have DA = 3cm and DB = 8 cm. Substitute:

\dfrac{CD}{3}=\dfrac{8}{CD}         <em>cross multiply</em>

CD^2=(3)(8)

CD^2=24\to CD=\sqrt{24}

CD=\sqrt{4\cdot6}\\\\CD=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt6\\\\CD=2\sqrt6\ cm
