Tran is using a coordinate plane to design a treasure hunt for his students. The hunt begins at the flagpole at the origin. The first clue is hidden 5 units north of the flagpole. The second clue is located 6 units east of the flagpole. The final clue is located 5 units south of the flagpole. Plot the locations of the flagpole and the 3 clues on the coordinate plane and show the path students will follow from the flagpole to all three clues. . Each unit represents 50 feet. What is the shortest combined distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 and to Clue 3?

The shortest combined distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 and to Clue 3 is approximately 1,031.025 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the clues for the treasure hunt are

The location of the first clue = 5 units north of the flag pole

The coordinates is (0, 5)

The location of the second clue = 6 units east of the flag pole

The coordinates is (6, 0)

The location of the final clue = 5 units south of the flag pole

The coordinates is (0, -5)

The flagpole is at the origin

The coordinates of the flagpole is (0, 0)

Each unit on the graph = 50 feet

From the drawing of the treasure hunt created with Microsoft Excel, the shortest distances between the clues are as follows;

The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line

Therefore

The shortest length from the flagpole to Clue 1 = 5 - 0 = 5 units

The actual distance from the flagpole to Clue 1 = 5 units × 50 feet/unit = 250 feet

The length from Clue 1 to Clue 2= √(6² + 5²) = √(61) units

The actual distance from Clue 1 to Clue 2 = √(61) units × 50 feet/unit = 50·√61 feet

By similarity, the actual distance from Clue 2 to Clue 3 = 50·√61

The combined shortest distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 and to Clue 3 = (250 + 50·√61 + 50·√61) feet ≈ 1,031.025 feet

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
