We can use a theorem called Proportional segments in right triangles.

1. How far is library from the park?
The perpendicular is the mean proportional between the segments of the hypotenuse, so:
 $PL= \sqrt{FL \cdot HL } = \sqrt{8 \cdot 2 } = \sqrt{16}=4 \ miles$

2. How far is the park from the football field?
Each leg of the given triangle is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the adjacent segment, so:
 $PF= \sqrt{FH \cdot FL } = \sqrt{(8+2) \cdot 8 } = \sqrt{80}=4 \sqrt{5} \ miles$

Simplify The Expression. 12/c^-8d^2

Katarina [22]

If you're going to write negative exponents, please enclose them inside parentheses:

12 / c^(-8)
12 8d^2
12/c^-8d^2 becomes --------- - ---------
c^8 1

Here the LCD is c^8, so the above expression becomes:

12 c^8*d^2 12-(c^8)(d^2)
------- - ------------- = ---------------------
c^8 c^8 c^8
