Question

maki is playing hide and seek with Emily and Liam. Emily is hiding 7 m south of maki, and Liam is hiding due east of emily . if maki is 25 meters from liam, how far apart are emily and liam

Answer 1

By pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a =
`\sqrt{c^(2) -b^(2) }`

a =
`√(625-49)`

a = 24 m
