WORKINGS
Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown
Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.
The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL
Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles
Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles
The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles
Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.

Answer:
40 socks
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 48 socks in total inside the drawer. 2 pairs of white socks means four white socks. The worst possible scenario (however unlikely it is) is that Laura takes all of the red, blue and green socks before picking any white sock. From that point on, Laura has to pick four more socks in order to have two white pairs. In this scenario, there are 8 socks left in the drawer, all white. Therefore, the minimum number of socks that Laura must take to be sure that she has two pairs of white socks is:
She must take at least 40 socks.
