Answer:
13.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will need to first solve for the base of the triangle and then use the information we find to solve for the shortest route.
(5.5 + 3.5)² + b² = 15²
9² + b² = 15²
81 + b² = 225
b² = 144
b = 12
Now that we know that the base is 12 miles, we can use that and the 5.5 miles in between Adamsburg and Chenoa to find the shortest route (hypotenuse).
5.5² + 12² = c²
30.25 + 144 = c²
174.25 = c²
13.2 ≈ c
Therefore, the shortest route from Chenoa to Robertsville is about 13.2 miles.
Answer: 44 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 longest are 14.5 14.5 and 15 so the answer is adding them and 44 is the answer.
Since the numbers are consecutive, they must be near each other in size, and therefore near one-third of 168. And since the lower number is -2 off the middle, and the upper number is +2 from the middle, the middle number must be exactly one-third of 168—otherwise the sum of the three could never be 168. Labelling the three consecutive numbers as x, y, and z:
x + y + z = 168
(y-2) + y + (y+2) = 168.
3y = 168
y = 56
therefore the smallest number (x) = 54.

The area of a figure is the number of squares required to cover it completely, like tiles on a floor. Area of a square = side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side squared.
