Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.

The first one = 28 + 2x = ?

The second one = 13 + 5x = ?

Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I first plugged in 2 as x.

28 + 4 = 32

13 + 10 = 23

That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.

28 + 10 = 38

13 + 25 = 38

So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.

I encountered this problem before but it had an accompanying image and list of answer choices.

I'll attach the image and include the list of options. 

Each unit on the grid stands for one mile. Determine two ways to calculate the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
A) Distance Formula and Slope Formula
B) Midpoint Formula and Slope Formula
C) Distance Formula and Midpoint Formula
<span>D) Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem
</span>
My answer is: D.) Distance formula and Pythagorean Theorem.

When looking at the image, I can visualize a right triangle. I'll simply get the measure of the long and short legs and solve for the hypotenuse. 
Since the distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, it can be used to determine the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Therefore 200.96 ft.of fencing are needed to go around the pool path.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a circular swimming pool has a radius of 28ft. There is a path all the way around the pool. The width of the path 4 ft.

The radius of the outside edge the pool path is

= Radius of the pool + The width of the path

= (28+4) ft

= 32 ft.

To find the length of fencing, we need to find the circumference of outside the pool path.

Here r= 32 ft

The circumference of outside edge of the pool path

=2\pi r

=(2\times 3.14 \times 32) ft

=200.96 ft.

Therefore 200.96 ft.of fencing are needed to go around the pool path.
