To get from the post office to the library, sindy walked due north and then due east. the distance sindy walked east is 20 meters more than the distance she walked north. if sindy were able to walk directly from the post office to the library in a straight line, she would have walked 150 meters. suppose x represents the distance sindy walked north. which equation can be used to find x?
x^2 (x 20)^2=150^2
202=x^2-150^2
x (x 20)=150
x^2 (x 150)^2=20^2

x² + (x + 20)² = 150²

Step-by-step explanation:

Sindy walked x meters in north and then x+20 meters toward east. If Sindy were able to walk directly from the post office to the library directly in a straight line, the distance she would have walked 150 meters.

Thus Sindy forms a right angle triangle as in the figure attached.

From Pythagoras theorem

x² + (x + 20)² = 150²

This is the equation we can use to find x.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
