Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>
The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is 
* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*
(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).
a= x, b=8, c=9

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:

Subtract 64 from both sides:


Take the square root of both sides:

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+4)(a-2)=a^2+2a-8
a*a=a^2
a*(-2)=-2a
a*4=4a
4*(-2)=-8
a^2-2a+4a-8=a^2+2a-8
Answer:
1.7 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Jacob walks 1.5 miles north.
He turns and walks 0.8 miles west.
We need to find how far is he from his starting point. Let he is at a distance of x miles from the starting point. It can be calculated as follows :

Hence, he is 1.7 miles from his starting point.
I think it's along the y-axis.....
