The hikers started at point S.
The first hiker went 2 miles east and 1 mile north to point A.
The second hiker went 1 mile west and 3 miles south to point B.
See the figure below.

                                                              A
                                                              I
                           1 mile                         I    1 mile
                          I---------S------------------I
                          I                    2 miles
                          I
                          I
            3 miles   I
                          I
                          I
                          B


Now we need to see how much east and how much north hiker B is from hiker A.


                                                            A
                                                              I
                           1 mile                         I    1 mile
                          I---------S------------------I
                          I                    2 miles   I
                          I                                   I
                          I                                   I
            3 miles   I                                   I   3 miles
                          I                                   I
                          I                                   I
                          B----------------------------I
                                         3 miles

From point B go 3 miles east, then 3 + 1 = 4 miles north to point B.
The distance between the hikers is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of lengths 3 and 4.

3^2 + 4^2 = d^2

9 + 16 = d^2

d^2 = 25

d = 5

The distance between the hikers is 5 miles.

4 to the 8th power divided by 4 to the 5th power
Natasha2012 [34]

Alright, 4 to the 8th power is 4x4x4x4x4x4x4x4 which ends up as 65,536.

4 to the 5th power is the same thing but with 5 4's and that is 1,024.

All you need to do now is 65,536/1,024 = 64.

Solved!  :D

Help with 12!! ASAP will gove brainliest!! How to find the surface area!!
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: 659 13/18 yd^2 or 659.7yd^2                ^ =squared

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because you have 6 sides of this prism. That means 3 sides are parallel to the sides across from them. So, 12 1/2 yd by 8 1/3 yd is 104 1/6, then multiply by 2. That equals 208 1/3. Then, 10 5/6 yd by 8 1/3 yd is 90 5/18. then times by 2. That equals 180 5/9. Next, 10 5/6yd by 12 1/2 is 135 and 5/12. then times by 2 and that is 270 5/6yd.

add 208 1/3 + 180 5/9 + 270 5/6

659 13/18 yd^2
