Using Pythagorean theorem, the student walked 53.58 meters more compared to the total displacement from the starting point.
If a student walks 100 meters north, then 100 meters west, then the path he travels resembles the sides of a right triangle (see attached photo).
Using Pythagorean theorem, we can solve for the total displacement from the starting point to the end point.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the total displacement from the starting point to the end point
a is the distance he walks up north
b is the distance he walks to the west
c^2 = 100^2 + 100^2
c^2 = 10,000 + 10,000
c^2 = 20,000
c = 141.42 meters
Comparing the total distance the student walked and the total displacement from the starting point to the end point by subtraction.
100 meters + 100 meters - 141.42 meters = 53.58 meters

Answer:
Here you go! 8x+10-5x!
Just kidding. here you go. x=1.66
Step-by-step explanation:
you can simplifiy the x´s by making it 3x by subtracting. You can also subract 10 from both sides. That leaves you with 3x=5.
x=1.66
0.94 gallons is the correct answer
its all about the angles just subtract the number you have from the total
