Answer: the eastbound train had travelled 12 miles
Explanation: using Pythagoras theorem, we know that
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where ^ stands for raised to power.
Let
a stand for the train going towards North and
b stands for the train going towards east.
X stands for the total distance between train a and b = 20 miles.
By Pythagoras rule
X^2 = a^2 + b^2
20^2 = 16^2 + b^2
400 = 256 + b^2 so that
b^2 = 400 - 256 = 144
b = √144
b = 12 miles.

Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing constant term in the perfect square is 49.

x^2 + 14x + 49

We need a squart root of something to make the factor add up equal to 14x. If it's a perfect square, we could divide 14 by 2, 14/2 = 7, and we multiply 7^2, we get 49, which is a perfect square.

ernie walks 1/6 mile in 1/12 hour when he walks along the river trail. How many miles per hour does Ernie walk when he hikes on
ohaa [14]

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

distance=rate*time

d=rt

1/6=r*(1/12)

multiply both sides by 12

12(1/6)=r*(1/12)12

2=r*1

2=r

rate=2 miles per hour
