Sam has already biked 1/4 of all the distance and 12 miles, and he still needs to bike 3/8 of the total distance and 9 miles. what’s the total distance?

0lz try yourself sorry for not answering

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough

ιт ιѕ в. 1/4

ιи (fяα¢тισи/єχα¢т fσям) 1/4

ιи (∂є¢ιмαℓ fσям) .25

нσρє ι ¢συℓ∂ нєℓρ уα

96 cm is the answer.
