Algebra 2 help? please?
Suppose an earthquake can be felt up to 80 miles from its epicenter. You are located at a point, 60 miles west and 45 miles south of the epicenter. Do you feel the earthquake? If so, how many miles south would u have to travel to be out of the range of the earthquake?
I already know the answer to the first question is yes. But how do i solve the second part?
can you go answer my other questions?
the answer is 7.29 but how do you get that? I can’t ask my teacher, look at the time! If i could, would i be asking it here?
7.92 lol sorry
haha. you’re funny (on answering the first question).
this is a pythagorean problem.
c^2 = 45^2 + 60^2
c = 75 –> you will feel the earthquake
to get out of the earthquake range, travel at least (x-45) miles south,
x^2 = 80^2 – 60^2
x = 52.915
travel at least 7.915 or 8 miles south
