Buried Treasure
In this essay of Buried Treasure we will use many different ways to attempt to factor down three expressions problems. Our first problem from our reading talks about Ahmed and Vanessa, Ahmed has half of a treasure map, which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. The other half of the map is in Vanessa possession and her half indicates that to find the treasure, one must get to Castle Rock. When she get there to walk x paces to the north, and then walk 2x + 4 paces to the east. I wonder what X could equal to, if Ahmed and Vanessa come together in finding the treasure they would save a lot of time of digging. In this Pythagorean equation we will see how far Ahmed would walk 2x+6 paces and Vanessa would have to walk 2x+4, x in desert to find the Castle Rock. Ahmed and Vanessa would need equipment for their journey they will use rope, compasses and sticks with colored flags. If Ahmed use a rope tied with a stick and a colored flag to the Castle Rock using a yellow flag to mark the spot. The yellow flag mark would be basically 2x + 6 paces. Which would be a hypotenuse on the north side of the Castle Rock. Vanessa will use her compass to find south side of the Castle Rock. Where she will walk “X” paces in a straight line south toward the Castle Rock and mark the place where a red flag is mark. At the end of her distance she will mark the red flag in a triangle. Vanessa will now turn 90 degrees to the right and will walk 2x+4 paces east until she tied rope at stick that marks the blue flag. We have now acquired a line segment which we will call Y for yellow flag and R for red flag and B for Blue flag. YR which is basically the line from Y to R, the line segment from B to R is considered BR. However, the lines YR and BR intersect to form a perpendicular angel, and we will use line as Ahmed’s route. The end

    First we will look at the equation so we know how far Ahmed will have to walk which is 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. If Ahmed used string and tied it to the Castle Rock point and labeled it as point “A” on paper it would be basically 2x + 6 paces. With this being the radius you will know that it is the same anyway you fit this from the circle. So to find the Treasure we will use “C”. Vanessa will use her compass to find north from Castle Rock. From there she will walk “X” paces in a straight line northward. At the end of her distance she will call this point “B”. Vanessa will now turn 90 degrees to the right and will walk 2x+4 paces east until she is at point “C”. We have now acquired a line segment which we will call AB which is basically the line from A to B, the line segment from B to C is considered BC. However, the lines AB and BC intersect to form a perpendicular angel, and we will use line AC as Ahmed’s route. The end state of the line segments if one was to draw them out would equal a triangle. With the face that Vanessa had turned in a 90 degree angle that makes this triangle a right angle ABC. Lines AB and BC are to be considered as the legs and we will think of AC as the hypotenuse.…

We will explain step by step to solve how many paces to reach Castle Rock for Ahmed and Vanessa had to accomplish to meet there goal. Ahmed has half of a treasure map, which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the other half of the map. Her half indicates that to find the treasure, one must get to Castle Rock, walk x paces to the north, and then walk 2x + 4 paces to the east. If they share their information, then they can find x and save a lot of digging. What is x (Dugoploski, 2012)?…
