Isiah is 5.83 miles away from his starting point.
When you draw the the miles Isaiah walks, you will discover that you are forming a right angle triangle.
To measure the length from the starting point to the ending point. We must used the Pythagorean equation. Where in the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
a² + b² = c²
a = 3 miles 3² + 5² = c²
b = 5 miles 9 + 25 = c²
c = hypotenuse. 34 = c²
We must get the hypotenuse, since 34 is the square of the hypotenuse we must look for its square root.
c² = 34
c = √34
c = 5.83 miles
Since both rectangles are similar, the following ratio must be fulfilled:
By multiplying both sides by 14, we get
and by subtracting 9 to both sides, we have
Therefore, the answer is 12.
Since c=15 and d=3, we replace the c and d variables with 15 and 3.
0.5x15-1.7x3
0.5x15=7.5
1.7x3=5.1
Now subtract.
7.5-5.1=2.4

hope it helps
I believe it’s 900. Yeah, I think the answer is 900.
