So,

We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.

We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8

We'll just use A to represent both J and M.

S = M - 8

We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64

Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64

Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72

Divide both sides by 3
A = 24

Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24

Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16

Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.

So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16

Three right triangles are drawn in the coordinate plane,
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Triangle A:

- smaller leg = 3

- longer leg = 10

- hypotenuse = 10.4

Traingle B:

- smaller leg = 4

- longer leg = 13

- hypotenuse = 13.6

Triangle C:

- smaller leg = 5

- longer leg = 7

- hypotenuse = 8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the distance of the legs for the 3 right triangles.

<u>Triangle A</u>

The smaller leg (SL) is from (2,5) to (2,8), so the length is given by the distance in the y-axis:

SL_{A} = 8 - 5 = 3

Hence, the lenght of the smaller leg is 3.

The longer leg (LL) is from (-8, 8) to (2, 8), so the length is given by the distance in the x-axis:

LL_{A} = 2 - (-8) = 10

Then, the length of the longer leg is 10.  

Now, we can find the hypotenuse (H) by using Pitagoras:

H_{A} = \sqrt{SL_{A}^{2} + LL_{A}^{2}} = \sqrt{3^{2} + 10^{2}} = 10.4

<u>Triangle B</u>

The SL is from (3, -9) to (7, -9)

The length of the SL is:

SL_{B} = 7 - 3 = 4

The LL is from (7, -9) to (7, 4)

The length of the LL is:

LL_{B} = 4 - (-9) = 13

The hypotenuse is:

H_{B} = \sqrt{4^{2} + 13^{2}} = 13.6

<u>Triangle C</u>

The SL is from (-10, -6) to (-10, -1)

The length of the SL is:

SL_{C} = -1 - (-6) = 5

The LL is from (-10, -6) to (-3, -6)  

The length of the LL is:

LL_{C} = -3 - (-10) = 7

The hypotenuse is:

H_{C} = \sqrt{5^{2} + 7^{2}} = 8.6

I hope it helps you!
