Question 73002: Thanks for helping me understand how to solve the problem, and yes, I need your help again for an assignment due in the morning. The question is 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. Please HELP!!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = sqrt(35^2 + 65^2)
distance = sqrt(5450)=73.82 km
