Mary walks east from her house 5 miles then north 17 miles to meet her friend at the park. If she had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park, approximately how many miles would she have walked?

Mary would have walked 17.72 miles, If she had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park

Solution:

The figure is attached below

Let "A" be the starting point

Let "C" be the park

Mary walks east from her house 5 miles

Therefore,

AB = 5 miles

Then north 17 miles to meet her friend at the park

Therefore,

BC = 17 miles

She had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park

We have to find AC

For a right angled triangle, by pythagoras theorem,

Thus she would have walked 17.72 miles, If she had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
