You enter a relay race. To start, you must run 20 yards to Checkpoint A. You then must turn and run 12 yards to Checkpoint B. La

st, you must turn and run back to the starting line. What is the distance from Checkpoint B to the starting line? THANKS :)

Distance to checkpoint A from starting line = 20 yards.

Then from A to B distance = 12 yards.

Let us take starting point C.

So, it would make a right triangle.

We have AB = 12, AC = 20, we need to find BC, that is Hypotenuse of the right triangle.

According to Pythagoras theorem:

BC^2 = AB^2+AC^2

BC^2 = 12^2+20^2

BC^2 = 144 +400 = 544

BC= \sqrt{544}

BC = 23.32.

<h3>Therefore,  23.32 yards is the distance from Checkpoint B to the starting line.</h3>

Answer:

The shortest distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B is 23.33 yards.        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let O be the starting point.

Distance between the starting point and checkpoint A = 20 yards

To reach checkpoint B, one need to take a turn and let it be a 90 degrees turn toward right or left.

Distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B = 12 yards

In order to find the shortest distance between the checkpoint A and checkpoint B, the displacement, we use the Pythagoras theorem.

Statement:

In  a right angled triangle:

(Side 1)^2 + (Side 2)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2

(OA)^2 + (AB)^2 = (AB)^2\\(20)^2 + (12)^2 = (AB)^2\\400 + 144 = (AB)^2\\(AB)^2 = 544\\AB = \sqrt{544} \approx 23.33

Hence, the shortest distance between checkpoint A and checkpoint B is 23.33 yards.

Stealth Bank has deposits of $700 million. It holds reserves of $70 million and has purchased government bonds worth $215 millio
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$75 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Reserve value = $70 million

Purchased government bond = 215 million

Market value of loan = $490 million

Net worth :

Assets - liability

Assets = (Market value of loan + purchased government bond + reserve value)

(490 million + 215 million + 70 million)

275 million + 70 million

= $775 million

Liability = Deposits = $700 million

Net worth = ($775 - $700) million

Net worth = $75 million
