You start driving west for 9 miles, turn right, and drive north for another 6 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight line distance from your starting point? Round to the nearest tenth of a mile.

10.8 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture a right triangle with legs 9 mi and 6 mi.  Applying the Pythagorean Theorem (d² = a² + b²), we get:

(9 mi)² + (6 mi)² = 117 mi²

This is the square of the hypotenuse (the desired distance).

Taking the square root of both sides, we get d = √(117 mi) ≈ 10.8 mi = d

The desired straight line distance traveled is 10.8 mi

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5
