X = 50 (Is parallel to the y-axis so there is no intersection point)
Y= 40 (Is parallel to the x-axis so there is no intersection point)
Both no intercept with the other
The answer to your question is -10
First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi
Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from
to
:
d^2=1665
mi
Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi
We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved
16.2 miles.</span>
Yes, 5/60, 5 divided by 5=1. 60 divided by 5= 12. Leaving you with 1/12. Meaning that both fractions are equivalent
