Question

can someone help me? giving medal

Answer 1

plz help

Answer 2

So first we need to figure out how far Felix will travel if he goes the long way. So we need to add the the two sides up. (0.7 and 2.4)

Answer 3

and u get 3.1?

Answer 4

plz help

Answer 5

Now we need to find the hypotenuse. Do get it we should use this formula: \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] We are trying to find c.
to get c we must replace a with 0.7 and b with 2.4

Answer 6

So what is the new equation?

Answer 7

0.7^2 + 2.4^2 = c^2?

Answer 8

Yes, so to solve for c we have to squar 0.7 and 2.4 and then add them together. Are you aloud to use a calculator?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

OK so multiply 0.7 by 0.7

Answer 11

0.49

Answer 12

and what is 2.4 times 2.4?

Answer 13

5.76

Answer 14

now what?

Answer 15

now add 0.49 to 5.76

Answer 16

i got 6.25

Answer 17

ok so \[6.25=c^2\]

Answer 18

do you know how i got that?

Answer 19

6.25*6.25??

Answer 20

no, what we did was use the formula \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] and then we plugged in the length of the sides of the rectangle for a and b. then we did the math by squaring the two lengths and adding them together.
the next step is to find the square root of 6.25

Answer 21

oh ok i got confused

Answer 22

the square root of 6.25 is 2.5?

Answer 23

Yes that is correct. That is the distance of if Felix were to travel diagonally across the park. So now all we have to do is subtract 2.5 from 3.1\[3.1-2.5\]

Answer 24

that will be your final answer. :D

Answer 25

0.6 is that right?

Answer 26

Yup. That is the answer to the question "How much farther would Felix travel..." ect

Answer 27

thank you! :D

Answer 28

No problem :)
