The school, park and movie theater form a right triangle when shown on a map. the longest distance is between the school and the park. if there are 3.4 miles between the school and the movie theater and 5 miles between the park and the movie theater, how far is the school from the park?

6.05 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

When the question says "the longest distance is between the school and the park", that distance must be the hypotenuse since the hypotenuse is always longer than the legs. Therefore, the legs must be 3.4 and 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem to solve:

a² + b² = c²

(3.4)² + (5)² = c²

11.56 + 25 = c²

36.56 = c²

√36.56 = √c²

6.05 = c

Therefore, the distance from the school to the park is 6.05 miles.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

they will manufacture 8496 cars
