Three friends are playing catch. Zoe is in a straight path 12 feet to the west of alex. Jin is in a straight path 9feet to the north or alex . How far apart are jin and zoe.

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented by a right angle triangle, shown in the diagram below.

The distance between Jin and Zoe is the hypotenuse of the triangle, x.

According to Pythagoras theorem,

hyp² = opp² + adj²

Where opp is the opposite side and adjacent is the adjacent side to any angle of consideration (which is not important in this case)

Hence:

x² = 12² + 9²

x² = 144 + 81

x² = 225

Finding the square root:

x = 15 ft

Jin and Zoe are 15 ft apart.

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
