Question 36960: Having trouble with this.
5. Suppose you travel north for 65 kilometers then travel east 75 kilometers. How far are you from your starting point?
Answer:
Show work in this space.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! THIS PROBLEM IS A RIGHT TRIANGLE PROBLEM WHERE THE SUM OF THE SQUARES OF THE TWO SIDES IS EQUAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE HYPOTENUSE (DISTANCE FROM THE STARTING POINT IN THIS CASE) THUS
65~2+75~2=H~2 OR 4225+5625=H~2 OR 9850=H~2 OR TAKING THE SQRT OF BOTH SIDES WE GET H=SQRT9850 OR H=99.247166 KM.
