Question 522336
If katrina hikes 5 miles north, 7 miles east, and then 3 miles north again. To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far, in a straight line, is katrina from her starting point?
---------------
The order doesn't matter.  She's 8 mi north and 7 miles east.
That makes a right triangle with sides of 8 & 7 miles.
----------
Can you find the hypotenuse?
