HELP ASAP: How far apart are the spider and the fly?(it needs to be written in a equation, then round to the nearest 10 if necessary)

Answer 1

It is a right triangle. The distance is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

Distance = sqrt(3^2 + 2^2)

Distance = sqrt( 9 + 4)

Distance = sqrt(13) (exact distance)

As a decimal sqrt(13) = 3.60555
