HELP PLZ Bruce's school is due west of his house and due south of his friend Avery's house. The
distance between the school and Avery's house is 6 miles and the straight-line distance
between Bruce's house and Avery's house is 7 miles. How far is Bruce's house from school? If
necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

3.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The three points form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the distance from Bruce and Avery's house, and the first leg is the distance from Avery's house to the school. Using the Pythagorean Theorem's converse, sqrt(7^2-6^2), and rounding it to the nearest tenth, we get 3.6 miles.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

5+2x=a
