Answer 3

So the factory is located directly above the warehouse and right of the airport.

Now, it asks how far the airport is to the factory, which is your \(b\) part of \(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

From this, we need to find the rise over run of the line, which is what?

Answer 4

i think its 130

Answer 5

That would be incorrect, look closer, if the factory is \(104\) miles north of the warehouse, that lands it directly East of the airport and directly north of the warehouse.

So what do you think the length is now? (look at the point at which the airport is at, \(39\), and add it to meet up at the same point the factory is, \((39,52)\))

Answer 6

i still dont get it im confused

Answer 7

The factory is north of the warehouse and east of the airport at the point \((39,52)\)

Answer 8

that equal to 104

Answer 9

Wait is it 208?

Answer 10

Nope

Answer 11

then i really dk what it is

Answer 12

It's lower than that, look at the picture I'm about to post

Answer 13

169?

Answer 14

its 201

Answer 15

Look at it closer
The point of the Airport is 39 miles from the 0 on the x axis, and then to get to the factory it's 39 more miles, even with the warehouse

That gives you \(39+39\)

So what would \(39+39\) equal?

Answer 16

78

Answer 17

the answer was 208 i got it wrong
