The straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Distance covered towards north, n = 9 miles
Distance covered towards east, e = 40 miles
Distance from the origin to the end, x = ?
If we imagine this, then the route forms a right angle triangle
where,
n is the height
e is the base
x is the hypotenuse
Using pythagoras theorm:
(x)² = (n)² + (e)²
(x)² = (9)² + (40)²
(x)² = 1681
x = 41 miles
Therefore, the straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.
In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x
2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y
now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5
now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0
and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5
Lateral area of triangular prism = (a+b+c)h where a, b and c are the sides of the triangular base, h is the height.
LA= (a+b+c)h=
a=4
b=6
c=?
c=9
h=8
c=√6²+4²=√80 or approximately 9
you should get An Area= (4+6+√80)8
LA= 80+8√80
6% of $32,345 is $1,940.70, your decimal point is off by 1 place :)
