8. Cory drove 7 miles South on Kings Drive. He then turned East and went another 24 miles down Hwy 66. At this point he turned on a diagonal and took Main Street back home. How far did Cory drive? show work

Cory drove 56 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the present problem, the Pythagorean theorem must be used, as the displacements towards the south and east operate as legs and the diagonal return as hypotenuse, forming a right triangle:

7 ^ 2 + 24 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

49 + 576 = X ^ 2

2√625 = X

25 = X

Thus, since he traveled 7 miles south, 24 miles east, and then 25 miles diagonally toward his house, in total he traveled 56 miles (7 + 24 + 25).

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
