Option D is indeed correct, as it ensures that the post's point is equidistant from the ground, maintaining a perpendicular angle at two points on the surface.
Malcolm's remaining distance is roughly
1370 - 470 - 430 = 470
This coincides with selection...
D) 470 miles
3 distinct arrangements - 1 x 9 (or 9 x 1) and 3 x 3
Thus, the total number of arrangements = 2 x 2 = 4 = an even count
Initially, we identify pairs of different factors of 9.
The pairs of factors for 9 are:
(1, 9) and (3, 3)
For each of these pairs, Mr. Deets can create 2 arrangements.
This means the total arrangements Mr. Deets can construct = 2 x 2 = 4, confirming that the overall number is even.
