The path between the two houses and the path the homing pigeon will fly form a triangle. (Shown in picture)
To solve this problem you are finding the hypotenuse of the triangle. This can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Start by identifying your variables:
a: 6 (miles north)
b: 8 (miles west)
c: miles of the homing pigeon’s path
After identifying your variables, substitute the values into your equation.
This results in:
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
Next, square both of your a and b values by multiplying each value by temselves. 6 x 6 is 36 and 8 x 8 is 64
So...
This leaves you with:
36 + 64 = c^2
After that, add your values together to get one value on each side of the equal sign.
36 + 64 = 100
This leaves you with 100 = c^2
To find your final answer, square root both sides to isolate and solve for the c value.
The square root of 100 is 10.
So your final answer is 10 miles.
The homing pigeon will fly 10 miles between Joe and Raul’s houses.
Percent means parts ot of 100
10%=10/100=1/10
'of' means mutily
10% of what=14
1/10 times what=14
mutiply both sides by 10
what=140
the number is 140
Answer:
What is 10% of 120?
Step-by-step explanation:
120 / 10 = 12
10% of 120 = 12
We have a match.
Let's do the others, just to be sure it's the only one.
10% of 12 = 1.2
25% of 120 = 30
25% of 120 = 3
y=-5/4x +3
The slope(-5/4) is rise over run and negative because the line is sloping down. The y intercept (3) is the point where the line crosses the y axis.
