To get to the park from her house, Rachel walked 4 kilometers due north and then 3 kilometers due west. On the way back, she cut across a field, taking the shortest possible route home,
How far did Rachel walk on the round-trip?

12 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you know that 3^2 + 4^2 = x^2, so 9 + 16 = x^2, which means that x = the square root of 25, which is 5. Then you add all three lengths of the triangle together to get the round trip. 3 + 4 + 5= 12.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
