Mary walks east from her house 5 miles then north 17 miles to meet her friend at the park. If she had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park, approximately how many miles would she have walked?

Mary would have walked 17.72 miles, If she had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park

Solution:

The figure is attached below

Let "A" be the starting point

Let "C" be the park

Mary walks east from her house 5 miles

Therefore,

AB = 5 miles

Then north 17 miles to meet her friend at the park

Therefore,

BC = 17 miles

She had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park

We have to find AC

For a right angled triangle, by pythagoras theorem,

Thus she would have walked 17.72 miles, If she had traveled in a straight line from her home to the park

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .
