Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you picture this scene in your head, you will get a simple 3x4x5 right triangle. 4 times 2 is 8, 5 times 2 is 10, so Sarah should, by now, have traveled 3 times 2 miles.

Final answer: Sarah has traveled 6 miles after an hour.

Hope this helped! :)

Helping tip: The reason it is not 4 is because they are not traveling west and east away from each other. They are traveling north and east, so they are moving in two directions to form a right triangle, and the hypotenuse would be 10 (miles). The side, or distance, that Beth has traveled is 8. So as this is a typical variation of a 3x4x5 triangle, Sarah will have traveled 6 miles.

In the right triangle shown in the diagram below,

adelina 88 [10]

QUESTION :-

what is the value of x to the nearest whole number?

ANSWER :-

$\cos( \theta) = \frac{base}{hypotenuse} \\ \cos(30) = \frac{x}{24} \\ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \cancel2} = \frac{x}{ \cancel{24}} = \frac{x}{12} \\ 1.732 = \frac{x}{12} \\ 12 \times 1.732 = x \\ x = 20.7$

the nearest whole number-->

20.7 --> approximately --> 21 units
