Answer:

20 miles (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The northbound biker travels (4 mph)(4 hr) = 16 mi, and

the eastbound biker travels (3 mph)(4 hr) = 12 mi.

They travel at right angles to one another.  Thus, the Pythagorean Theorem applies here.  The distance between the two bikers is d = √( [12 mi]^2 + [16 mi]^2 ), or √(144 + 256) mi, or √400 mi, which works out to 20 miles.

Answer B is correct.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: A


Step-by-step explanation: If you subtract each price by the price lower then it. Ex: $19.95 - $15.96 = $3.99, $15.96 - $11.97 = $3.99 and so on. They all equal $3.99.

Karolina [17]

Home is located at the point (-5, 5)

The park is located at the point (-2, 3)

Apply the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2 + (5-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5+2)^2 + (5-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{13}\\\\d \approx 3.6055513\\\\

When rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 4. This is the approximate distance (in blocks) from home to the park. I'm not sure why "4 blocks" isn't listed as a possible distance, so there may be a typo somewhere.

You'll apply this idea to the other pairs of points to find the other distances.

Brenda collected this data from an experiment.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

7.04

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of residual of the data point, we simply substitute 11 for t

The substitution equation is h = 0.6t + 0.44

Substituting 11, we have

h = 0.6(11) + 0.44

h = 6.6 + 0.44

h = 7.04
