This question would be a geometry question. As you can see from the picture attached below, the path taken by the runner forms a right triangle. The 3 miles West would equal the base of the triangle while the 8 miles North will be the side. This means that the hypotenuse (marked by x) is the straight path home that we need to find the value for. We can do this by using the Pythagorean Theorem, which is the following formula

a^{2} +b^{2}  = c^{2}

In this formula, the variables a and b are the sides of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. Now we can apply the values of the triangle below and solve for c.

3^{2}  + 8^{2}  = x^{2}

9 + 64 = x^{2}

73 = x^{2}   ... apply square root on both sides

8.54 = x

Finally, we can see that the run straight back home would be 8.54 miles.

"Which of these was considered a ""Mid Atlantic/Middle"" colony in North America?
Leviafan [203]

The correct answer is New York.

Explanation: Under British rule, the city grew, new settlers arrived and settled when the Indians were no longer a threat. So New York grew and developed, houses were built, merchants opened their emporiums, small workshops opened their doors. New York has become one of the most important ports of British trade in North America. The sad page of history was that the city became the gateway to African slaves. Most of these slaves were sent to cotton and sugar cane farms in the south of the colony.

Which of the following best
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

B. Disciplined army, far from home, well armed

Explanation:

Compared to the Continental Army, the British Army was much more disciplined and had much better training.

They were also far from home, as they had to fight in America instead of their homeland in Britain.

They were also more well armed, as they had a stronger Navy and had lots of gunpowder.

So, B is the correct answer.
