The distance the ships traveled are like the legs of a triangle and the question wants to know the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse, use the pythagorean theorem. this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a and b being the legs and c being the <span>hypotenuse.
</span>Plug in known values:
84^2 + 62^2 = c^2
Solve:
84^2 = 7056
62^2 = 3844
7056 + 3844 = c^2
7056 + 3844 = 10900
10900 = c^2
Now you just need to isolate c by finding the square root of both sides.
√10900 = 104.403
√c^2 = c
So c = 104.403, or just 104.40 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
And if c is 104.40, then that means the hypotenuse is 104.40.
And all of that basically means that the distance between the ships is 104.40 miles.
When variables with exponents are divided by each other, you subtract the exponents.
For example:
Answer:
A - 23
B - Finn and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Counting each box until you get to C gives you 23 and 16 from points A and B

Answer:
2 1/2 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...
cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find
Multiplying by 15 gives ...
x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2
You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.
19.635 square inches.
Assuming that the pots are arranged in a straight line, each pot would have a diameter of 5, because 5 • 3 = 15, and 15 is the length of the box. The radius of the base of one pot is therefore 2.5.
A = pi • r^2 = pi • 2.5^2 = 19.635 (approximation)
