A ship has an island directly in the path of the destination port, so it has to travel 11.5 miles west and then 8.4 miles north to get to the port. To the nearest tenth, how much shorter would the trip be if the ship could go directly to port?

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct distance there (without the island in the way) is found using the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a = 8.4

b = 11.5

c = ?

c^2 = 8.4^2 + 11.5^2              Square the length of the legs.

c^2 = 70.56 + 132.25            Combine  

c^2 = 202.81                          Take the square root.

c = 14.24

But the island is there. The distance travelled = 8.4 + 11.5 = 19.9 miles

So the additional distance = 19.9 - 14.24 = 5.66 miles.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

answer: 414,377,008

just multiply it
