Kristin and her family left their campsite to take a bike ride. They biked 5 miles west and then 12 miles north. How far are they from their campsite? Round to the nearest 10th if necessary.

they are 17 miles away from their campsite.

Step-by-step explanation:

we get the answer by adding the miles traveled north to the miles traveled west, and we get the total number of miles they traveled away from their campsite.

5 + 12 = 17

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
