If a runner jogs 3 miles west and then jogs 8 miles

History

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.

What event involved the Maine motivates the United States to go to war with Spain
ANTONII [103]

On February the 15th, in 1898, The battleship Maine was sunk by the Spanish crown, in Havana Harbor. This was the reason why the United States declared war on Spain in May of the same year.

When the war ended, in December of 1898, Spain had lost all its control over the territories of Puerto Rico, Cuba, The Philippines Islands, and Guam, with some smaller islands as well.

The War ended with the ratification of the Treaty of Paris, that was signed  on December 10th, 1898.
