1. Kyle has a baseball game after school. He drives 6 miles due west from his home to school. After school, he drives 5 miles due north to the baseball field, as shown on the grid below What is the straight-line distance from the baseball field to Kyles home, to the nearest tenth of a mile? A. 3.3 miles B. 5.5 miles C. 7.4 miles D. 7.8 miles

D. 7.8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to solve this, you need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from the baseball field to his home. You know two of the sides of the triangle formed, 6 and 5. The Pythagorean theorem is a² + b² = c². In this case, it would be 6² + 5² = c². If you solve this, you would find that c is 7.81024967591. Just round it to the nearest tenth like instructed. This would get you 7.8 as the answer.

Extra work just in case:

6² + 5² = c²

36 + 25 = c²

61 = c²

=

7.8 ≈ c

Visual just in case:

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
