2. A group of hikers park their car at a trail head and hike into the forest to a campsite. The next
morning, they head out on a hike from their campsite walking at a steady rate. The graph shows
their distance in miles, d, from the car on the day of their hike after h hours.
a. How far is the campsite from their car? Explain how you
know.
b. Write an equation that describes the relationship between
d and h.
+
c. After how many hours will the hikers be 16 miles from their
car? Explain or show your reasoning.

hello i am doing good for you that it's summer in your country or state ; )

btw in my country we just have sun and rain as (because i live in the caribbean lol)

also, thx a lot for the points : )

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
