Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.
This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.
If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
Answer:
x = 11/5 or 2 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
propagate the negative through the bottom equation
-5x = -11
x = 11/5
Answer: B. False
Distance between points is square root of (x1 - x2) + (y1 - y2).
Hope it helped!
