Answer:

14.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance moved North = 12 miles

Distance moved West = 8 miles

Shortest distance to reach starting point :

Let shortest distance to reach starting point = d miles

Using the relation :

Longest side of a right angled triangle:

d = sqrt(8^2 + 12^2)

d = sqrt(64 + 144)

d = sqrt(208)

d = 14.422205

d = 14.4 miles (nearest tenth of a mile)

hammer [34]

Answer:

There are 6\cdot 6=36 different ways to choose 4 screws such that 2 have a Phillips head and 2 have a slotted head.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 screws must be chosen so that 2 have a Phillips head and 2 have a slotted head, then you have to choose 2 screws with a Phillips head from 4 screws with a Phillips head and 2 screws with a slotted head from 4 screws with a slotted head.

You can choose 2 screws with a Phillips head from 4 screws with a Phillips head in

C^4_2=\dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!}=\dfrac{4!}{2!\cdot2!}=\dfrac{1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot4}{1\cdot2\cdot1\cdot2}=6

different ways.

You can choose 2 screws with a slotted head from 4 screws with a slotted head in

C^4_2=\dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!}=\dfrac{4!}{2!\cdot2!}=\dfrac{1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot4}{1\cdot2\cdot1\cdot2}=6

different ways.

In total there are 6\cdot 6=36 different ways to choose 4 screws such that 2 have a Phillips head and 2 have a slotted head.
