Answer:

Sachet town is 12km from the airport

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the distance from sachet town to the airport.

This can be calculated by referring to a diagrammatic representation. Please check attached file.

Let’s proceed with the calculations however.

From the question, we can see that we have formed a Right angled triangle from the diagram and we need to calculate the distance x.

Mathematically;

x^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

x^2 = 20^2 - 16^2

x^2 = 400 - 256

x^2 = 144

x = sq.rt of 144

x = 12km

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:  A pull a vowel

Step-by-step explanation: its unlikely he will pull a consonant since a consonate is when your lips touch together (like "p" "m" "b") pulling an E or P is low, but a vowel covers A,E,I,O, and U so it covers four letters, so your best bet is A.
