Question

Each unit on the map represents 5 miles. What is the actual distance from Oceanfront to Seaside?

Answer 1

can you upload the map?

Answer 2

can you give me a chance

Answer 3

@Luigi0210

Answer 4

if i draw up a sketch like this, can you figure out the distance of 'x' and 'y' i put on the triangle that I made from the graph?

Answer 5

We know those sides, now we have to use \(A^2+B^2=C^2\) to find the remaining.

Answer 6

That's a 6 and a 5 ? correct ? @Luigi0210

Answer 7

Yup~

Answer 8

61=c squared

Answer 9

Right, now take the square root of both sides.

Giving you \(\pm \sqrt{61}=c\).. but we can't have a negative distance for this so just \(\sqrt{61}=c\) works c:

Answer 10

it's either 10, 8 or 40 miles

Answer 12

@Shay17 we all want to help you, but we do need you to do the work, what were you able to calculate from what luigi helped u with?

Answer 14

@Jack1 can you help me with this one also ?

Answer 15

so u had it all the way before, u just need to round it to the closest answer
use pythag's theory as its a right angled triangle
C^2 = A ^2 = B^2
a = 5, b = 6
so c^2 = 36 + 25 = 61
so c = sqrt 61 = 7.8... so with rounding that comes to about 8

Answer 16

remember to give @Luigi0210 a medal for this one tho, he put in the effort with his drawings and explanations above

Answer 17

so does that all make sense now @Shay17 ?

Answer 18

yes thanks again @Jack1
