Question

Can anyone help me a car travels 28 miles north and then turns east. How far did the car travel east if the destination is 53 miles from the starting point

Answer 1

You subtract 28 from 53.

Answer 2

Answer 3

a^2+b^2=c^2 a=28 b=wat your trying to find and c=53 just plug in and solve

Answer 4

Yeah. ^^ thats what im trying to say.

Answer 5

Ok thank you

Answer 6

so you travel 45 miles east

Answer 7

So the answer would be -2027

Answer 8

No the answer would be 25 miles east.

Answer 9

28^2+b^2=53^2
784+b^2=2809
b^2=2025
square root it and then you get 45 miles east

Because you take 53 and subtract 28 and that gives you 25.
