Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 6
c = 9
b = ?
6^2 + b^2 = 9^2
36 + b^2 = 81
b^2 = 81 - 36
b^2 = 45
b = sqrt(45)
b = 6.71 miles
25% of people leave early as 6 is 1/4 of 24. You can solve this by dividing 6 by 24 (I believe, maybe check with someone on that but that’s how i figured it out).
Answer:
-24 = -0.6k
k=-24/-0.6
k=40
Let me know if this helps!
