two ships, a and b, set sail from the same port. ship a traveled in a northwesterly direction such that its path formed a 50° angle with the line for due north. ship b traveled due east from the port. what is the distance, d, between the ships when ship a has traveled 12 miles on its path and ship b has traveled 10 miles on its path?

9.5 miles
20.0 miles
20.7 miles
22.0 miles

option (a)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1:   take 2 number whose product equal to 25..

and sum of those two number are -10

step: 2 for example here if we take 5,5 are the number,,

5*5=25

and

5+5=10

but we need -10

so if we take   -5,-5

so -5*-5=25

and -5+(-5)=-10

s0

come the equation

replace -10x by these number

like -5x -5x+25

take common

x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x-5)=0
