Please please answer this correctly I have to finish the sums today as soon as possible
After pulling out of a garage, a car travels 15 miles north, 40 miles east, and 15 miles south. How many miles is the car from the garage?
50 miles
40 miles
30 miles
55 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the north and south are opposite directions, you can subtract the distances in order to get your total vertical displacement.

8 miles south - 5 miles north = 3 miles south

After this, you use the Pythagorean theorem in order to get the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the legs for 3 miles and 6 miles. (I strongly recommend you draw a diagram in order to visualize what the problem is asking)

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

3^2 + 6^2 = c^2

9 + 36 = c^2

45 = c^2

c = √45, or 3 √5

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
