You and your friend enjoy riding your bicycles. Today is a beautiful sunny day, so the two of you are taking a long ride out in

the country side. Leaving your home in Sunshine, you ride 6 miles due west to the town of Happyville, where you turn south and ride 8 miles to the town of Crimson. When the sun begins to go down, you decide that it is time to start for home. There is a road that goes directly from Crimson back to Sunshine. If you want to take the shortest route home, do you take this new road, or do you go back the way you came? Justify your decision. How much further would the longer route be than the shorter route? Assume all roads are straight.

Answer:

1)hypotenuse = straight home

sqrt(36+64) = 10

straight is 10 miles

same way is 6+8 = 14 miles

(2) hypotenuse of 3,4 5 right triangle is 5

5*6 = 30

plus enough for the knots :)

(3)diagonal (hypotenuse) length is the longest

sqrt (42^2 + 84^2) = 93.9, so no

Step-by-step explanation:

Round 0.97 to the nearest tenth
andrew-mc [135]
The tens column is the one directly to the right of the decimal, so you need to get rid of the seven. Since the 7 is closer to ten than it is to zero (it's bigger than 5), you will round up. When you round up, you add 1 to the number on the left, the 9. So it will become 10, or 1.0

If a varies jointly as b and c,
Alborosie

Given:

a varies jointly as b and c.

a=6 when b=2 and a=3.

To find:

The variation constant and the equation of variation.

Solution:

a varies jointly as b and c.

a\propto bc

a=kbc              ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

a=6 when b=2 and a=3.

6=k(2)(3)

6=6k

\dfrac{6}{6}=k

1=k

The value of k is 1.

Putting k=1 in (i), we get

w=1xy

w=xy

Therefore, the variation constant is 1 and the equation of variation is w=xy.
