Answer:

11.18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a right triangle a, b, c are related by the equation

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the longest side of the triangle

Hence given that A connects B and C directly and forms a right angle at A

5^2 + 10^2 = c^2

Where c is the length of the road

25 + 100 = c^2

125 = c^2

c = 125^1/2

= 11.18 miles

Is the set of numbers one 1,5,25 and 125 a geometric sequence
Strike441 [17]
Short answer: Yes.
Each member of the sequence is multiplied by 5 to get to the next member of the sequence.

Find the general equation.
tn = a*5^(n - 1)

Example
t4 = 1*5^(4 - 1)
t4 = 1*5^3
t4 = 125 just as the sequence shows.

t5 = 1^5^4
t5 = 625     Any member of the sequence can be found this way.

Can someone please help me? Will give the brainlest!!
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the perimeters = the scale

P₂ / P₁ = 6 / 4 = 3 / 2

The ratio of the areas = the square of the scale

A₂ / A₁ = (6 / 4)² = (3 / 2)² = 9 / 4

Same for the triangles:

P₂ / P₁ = 6 / 3 = 2

A₂ / A₁ = (6 / 3)² = (2)² = 4

5)A

6) D

7)  A

8) C

9) D

Step-by-step explanation:

1) -5 (-2) -6= 4

2) 3 coins plus c coins = 3 + c

3) x-2 =16, x = 18

4) \frac{z}{-12} =-5. Clearing, z =  60

5) x =13,4

6) 14=t-4. Clearing t = 58

7) -30=j+50, clearing j=80

8) 2.8x=-9.24, clearing x=-3-3

9) 5.8= \frac{z}{2.2}. Clearing z=12.76
