miles does he need to travel to reach his grandfather's
house?

b 147 miles
d 390 miles
kate chose b as the correct answer. how did she get
that answer?
the par

The correct answer is B because 0.7x=210, x=300

Step-by-step explanation:

210= 70% of the total distance to his grandfather's house, lets take that total distance for x.

So if:

210=0.7x

x=210/0.7

x=300

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

c.

step-by-step explanation:

substitution for (0,1)

y=x^2+4x+1

1=0^2+4(x)0+1

1=0+4(x)0+1

1=4(x)0+1

1=0+1

1=1

substitution for (-3,-2)

y=x+1

-2=-3+1

-2=-2
