A rectangular park is 8 miles long and 6 miles wide. How long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park?

Hey there! :)

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the diagonal side, we can simply visualize the sides of the rectangle as sides of a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²), where:

a = length of short leg

b = length of long leg

c = length of the diagonal

Solve:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 36 + 64

c² = 100

c = 10 miles. This is the length of the pedestrian route.

Solution,

Hypotenuse (h) = R

Perpendicular (p) = 8 miles

Base (b) = 6 miles

Now,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

Plugging the values:

Calculate:

Length of route = 10 miles

Hope this helps...

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
