The shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point is 9.4 miles.
Explanation
The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.
The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.
to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.
height h=8 miles
base b=5 miles
using pythagoras theorem
The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
The answer is true because the X (to the right) values does not repeat itself

Step-by-step explanation:
133-5=128
128/8=16
Answer: 122.5
======================================================
Explanation:
First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.
The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x
(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2
x/35 = 7/2
x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply
2x = 245
2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x = 122.5
The perimeter of figure A is 122.5
20x26=520
The answer is D 520.
Hope it helps.
