Marcel walks due north 50 meters from a tree. Katya walks 20 meters in a straight line away from the same tree but at an angle of 42° from due north, as shown in the diagram below. How far apart are Marcel and Katya to the nearest meter?

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024
