Question 72637: Suppose you travel north for 35 kilometers then travel east 65 kilometers. How far are you from your starting point? North and east can be considered the directions of the y- and x-axis respectively. Round to the tenth's place. Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the solution to this problem is
a^2+b^2=c^2 thus:
35^2+65^2=c^2
1225+4225=c^2
5450=c^2
c=sqrt5450
c=73.8 km. away from the starting point.
