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.

Clothes and Social Status
forsale [732]

Here is the sample answer:

Feudalism shaped the social structure of the Middle Ages. Under the feudal system, there was a strict social hierarchy. Clothing was a way to display which social class a person represented. Nobles, including lords and ladies, often were dressed in rich colored clothing, sometimes even with golden thread. Dying clothes was expensive at the time; therefore, only the wealthy could afford to have clothing made with vibrant clothes. Peasants wore undyed clothes in browns and grays mostly for two reasons. They were inexpensive, and because they worked the land, dirt was less predominant and they were easier to clean.
