Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the distance Jimmy could have jogged in a straight line.

Let x be the straight line distance Jimmy could have jogged.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

(40)^2 + (15)^2 = x^2
1600 + 225 = x^2
1825 = x^2
x ≈ √1825
x ≈ 42.72 meters

Therefore, Jimmy could have jogged approximately 42.72 meters in a straight line to reach the same point.

To find the length of one of the sides of a square with an area of 81 in^2, you can use the formula for the area of a square:

Area = side^2

Given that the area of the square is 81 in^2, you can set up the equation:
81 = side^2

To solve for the length of one of the sides, you can take the square root of both sides to isolate the side length:
side = √81
side = 9

Therefore, the length of one of the sides of the square is 9 inches.

To find the perimeter of a square, you can use the formula:

Perimeter = 4 * side

Given that the length of one side of the square is 9 inches, you can substitute this value into the formula:

Perimeter = 4 * 9
Perimeter = 36

Therefore, the perimeter of the square with a side length of 9 inches is 36 inches.
