Question 396391
Hulk left home and walked 8 blocks west.
then he turned and walked 6 blocks north. 
if each block is 500ft long how far is hulk from home??
:
Each direction forms the a leg of a right triangle, the dist (d) from home is the hypotenuse, 
:
d^2 = (8*500)^2 + (6*500)^2
:
put in your calc:
d = {{{sqrt(4000^2 + 3000^2)}}}
:
d = 5000 ft from home
