A man drove 16 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 2 mi north to his place of work. If a road was made directly from his home to his place of work, what would its distance be to the nearest tenth of a mile?

16. 1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since the road that goes from his home to work directly is c^2...

Plug in the rest of the numbers

16^2 + 2^2 = c^2

256 + 4 = c^2

260 = c^2

The reverse square of 260 is

16. 1 miles

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
