Find the solution to the following equation by transforming it into a perfect square trinomial.

x2 – 6x = 27

{–4, 16}

{–3, 9}

{–20, 30}

{59, 69}

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
