Betsy participates in a scavenger hunt that requires her to retrieve items from 4 locations. The locations are on a map with the

coordinates as given:
Location 1 is at (−4, −1).

Location 2 is at (−4, 4).

Location 3 is at (3, 4).

Location 4 is at (3, −1).

The paths from one location to another are straight lines. One unit on the coordinate grid equals 10 yd. Betsy starts at location 1 and goes to location 2, then location 3, and then location 4, and then returns back to location 1.

What is the total distance Betsy has traveled?

Answer:

240 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, B, C, and D represent location 1, location 2, location 3, and location 4 respectively.

Consider the figure in the attached file.

We need to find the total distance traveled by Betsy.

The distance covered by Betsy is

length of segment AB length of segment BC length of segment CD length of segment DA.

To find the distance AB, we need to find the distance from A to B on y-axis.

So, length of segment AB units

To find the distance BC, we need to find the distance from B to C on x-axis.

So, length of segment BC units

To find the distance CD, we need to find the distance from C to D on y-axis.

So, length of segment CD units

To find the distance DA, we need to find the distance from D to A on x-axis.

So, length of segment DA units

Hence, the total distance covered is units

It is given that 1 unit equals 10 yd, so distance traveled by Besty is yd

Explain how 3^7 + 2 must be an odd number

Firdavs [7]

It must be an odd number because 3^7 is also shown as:
3x3x3x3x3x3x3

Which equals:2,187

2,187 is an odd number because the last number is a 7 which is odd.

8) The height of a building h varies directly as the length and inversely as the width, if h = 25m when l = 10m and w = 5m, find

shtirl [24]

Let h,l, and w represent the height, length, and width of the building respectively

Then

$\begin{gathered} h\text{ = }\frac{kl}{w} \\ \text{where k is the constant of proportionality} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow k=\frac{hw}{l} \\ \Rightarrow k=\frac{25\times5}{10}=12.5 \end{gathered}$ $\Rightarrow h=\frac{12.5l}{w}$

The new value of h = 50m, but l remains the same.

That is l = 10m

Therefore

$\begin{gathered} \frac{50}{1}=\frac{12.5\times10}{w} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{50}{1}=\frac{125}{w} \\ \text{Cross multiplying, we have} \\ 50w\text{ = 125} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ w=}\frac{125}{50}=2.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the width is 2.5m

A brace for a shelf has the shape of a right triangle. Its hypotenuse is 16 inches long and the two legs are equal in length. Ho

Flura [38]

Using pythag a^2+b^2=16^2
16^2=256
and since a=b the equation is 2x^2=256
/ each side by 2
x^2=128
x=sq rt of 128=11.31 roughly
