Question

Jack rode a bike through a new in the path shown at the right. If Jack took an average of 2 pictures per mile, how many pictures did Jack take on his bike ride?

Answer 1

Jack took 10 pictures on his bike ride.

Explanation:

Given that:

Given measurements of sides are 3 miles and 4 miles

We will find the distance of the new route by using Pythagorean theorem.

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

(3)² + (4)² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

c² = 25

Taking square root on both sides

`√(c^2)=√(25)\\c=5`

The distance of new route = 5 miles

Picture taken per mile = 2

Picture taken on bike ride = 2*5 = 10 pictures

Hence,

Jack took 10 pictures on his bike ride.
