Answer:

AC = 12.4 km (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

AC can be calculated by using Pythagorean Theorem.

Thus:

AC² = AB² + BC²

Plug in the values

AC² = 8² + 9.5²

AC + √{154.25)

AC = 12.4 km (nearest tenth)

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. 4x + 8y = 16 4x - 8y = 0 A. (4, 2)

Adding both equations cancels y:

<span>4x + 8y = 16
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2

filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:

4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1

So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>
