Question

Three ballet dancers are positioned on stage. Monica is straight behind Jodie and directly left of Gina. If Jodie and Monica are 6 meters apart, and Gina and Jodie are 7 meters apart, what is the distance between Monica and Gina? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to get your answer

6^2 + b^2 =7^2

36 + b^2 = 49

b^2 = 13

b= 3.6

3.6 meters apart
