Triangle abc is a regular triangle
The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.
Explanation
The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.
The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.
to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.
height h=8 miles
base b=5 miles
using pythagoras theorem

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
1/3= 0.33333 if u want it as a decimal :)
I think its 46 srry if im wrong
Answer:
0.4kg, 1.4kg and 1.8kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of alloy = 3.6kg
Ratio of elements in the alloy = 2:7:9
Unknown:
Mass of each element in the alloy = ?
Solution:
To find the mass of each element in the alloy, first find the sum of the ratio;
2+7+9 = 18
Mass of nickel =
x 3.6 = 0.4kg
Mass of zinc =
x 3.6 = 1.4kg
Mass of copper =
x 3.6 = 1.8kg
The mass of each metal is 0.4kg, 1.4kg and 1.8kg
