THE ANSWER IS 5 since the decimals are out of place
To find x, we have to use the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
In our problem,
a = 3
b = ?
c = 6.5
(3)^2 + b^2 = (6.5)^2
Simplify the left and right side.
9 + b^2 = 42.25.
Subtract 9 from each side
b^2 = 33.25.
Take the square root of each side
b = 5.8.
Multiply 5.8 by two becuase 5.8 is the radius and we are looking for the diameter
x = 11.6
Answer:
4/10 or 2/5 of a mile more.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the denominators are the same, all you have to do is subtract the numerators.
9-5=10.
Therefore, Alisha hiked 2/5 of a mile further than Joseph.
