The direct distance from a starting point to a finish line is 15 miles. Unfortunately, you can't take the direct route. If you travel 12 miles east, how many miles north must you travel to reach the finish line? 10 19 9

9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From Pythagoras :

Opposite^2 = Hypotenus^2 - Adjacent^2

The direct route = 15 miles = hypotenus

x² = 15^2 - 12^2

x² = 225 - 144

x² = 81

x =. Sqrt(81)

x = 9

Hence, you must travel 9 miles north

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
