Let's put this on the usual Cartesian grid just so we can talk about it without drawing a picture. We'll use map conventions, right is east, up is north.
The ball starts at (0,0). 10.3 feet northwest means we have an isosceles right triangle whose diagonal is 10.3 feet. It's isosceles because northwest means equal parts north and west.
The sides of these triangles are in ratio
so the coordinates after the first putt are
The negative sign indicates west, which doesn't really matter for this problem. The distance from the origin to this point is 10.3 as required.
Now a second putt of 3.8 feet north puts us at
The squared distance to the origin is exactly
A little calculator work tells us
Third choice.
5.21 would just be 5 or 5.2 depending on what place you need to round.
The trick question is that you can’t effect an unknown value because you don’t know what number it is, it has to be a known value, there is nothing that you can do to figure it out, so it’s unknown and cannot be effected.
Answer:
56 cups of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day
We have 7 days in a week, hence, the number of gallons of water she drinks per week is calculated as:
1 day = 0.5 gallons
7 days = x
Cross Multiply
1 day × x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons
x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons/1 day
x = 3.5 gallons
Note that 16 cups = 1 gallon
The number of cups of water she drinks per week is
1 gallon = 16 cups
3.5 gallons = x
Cross Multiply
1 gallons × x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups
x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups/1 gallons
x = 56 cups
Therefore, Katrina drinks 56 cups of water in a week
