Question 872088: You and your best friend decide to go on a bike ride. You start at your house and ride 6 miles east and then turn and ride 8 miles south. It is going to get dark soon so you decide to go directly back to your house(northwest). What is the total distance that you would have ridden by the time you return home? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6 and 8 are the legs of a right triangle. It is the 3,4,5 right triangle so the diagonal(hypotenuse) is 10 add up 6,8 and 10 to get the distance (perimeter).
