Okay, so Sang is standing 20 yards away from one corner, and Jazmin is standing 99 yards away from the same corner. If this is a rectangle (I like visuals, so I'll use them to explain), then:
99ft
A ------------------------- B
| |
20 ft | |
| |
C -------------------------- D
The question is asking you to solve for the diagonal line between points C and B. If you imagine a line there, you actually have the rectangle split into two triangles. So if you have triangle ABC, side CB would be the longest line, or the hypotenuse. That means you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problem.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
99^2 + 20^2 = C^2
9,801 + 400 = C^2
10,201 = C^2
Now you solve for the square root of 10,201 to get C.
sqr (10,201) = C
C = 101 yards
Answer:
Ryan takes 6n+36m -42 seconds to reach the nth flag for the mth time.
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes Ryan to run from 1st to 6th flag in 30 seconds, so it takes him
30 * 6/3 = 36 seconds to make one complete round.
or it takes 6 seconds to run from one flat to the next.
To reach the nth flag (n=1,2,3,4,5, or 6)
Ryan takes 6(n-1) seconds.
To reach it the mth times, he needs to add 36(m-1) seconds.
So time it takes Ryan to reach the nth flag for the mth time takes
6(n-1) + 36(m-1)
= 6n - 6 + 36m - 36
= 6n+36m -42 seconds
Answer:
168.7602 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to solve this problem is by using an equation that describes the listening radius of the station, and another for the road, then the points where this two-equation intersect each other will represent when the driver starts and stops listening to the station, and the distance between the points is the miles that the driver will receive the signal.
The equation for the listening radius (the radio station is at (0,0)):

The equation for the road that past through the points (-120,0) and (80,100) (Collinsville and Harmony respectively):


Substitutes the value of y in the equation of the circle:

The formula to solve second-degree equations:

Using the values in x to find the values in y:


The distance between the points (51.4718,85.7359) and (-99.4718,10.2641) :
