Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to find a Pythagorean Triple. As you can see from the picture you have provided, 17 ft is the longest side. So, I squared 17 and got 289. I did this because I am using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Then, I squared 8 and got 64. Then, still following the Pythagorean Theorem, I subtracted 64 from 289. I got 225. Then, I found the square root of 225. I got 15. So, x=15.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: I used the pythagorean theorem. X is a, 8 is b, and 17 is c. The squares of a and b added together are c. So I got 15.

Airport A is located on a coordinate plane at (-18, 14). Airport B is located at (8, 14). How far apart are the airports?

Setler [38]

Answer:

26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula, d = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2$

Plug in the points:

d = $\sqrt{(-18 - 8)^2 + (14 - 14)^2$

Simplify:

d = $\sqrt{(-26^2 + (0)^2}$

d = $\sqrt{676}$

d = 26

So, the airports are 26 units apart
