Question

City y is 10 miles north of city x city z is 24 miles east of city x how long is the straight roads connecting cities y and z?

Answer 1

26 miles

Explanation:

Using Pythagoras rule :

d = straight road connecting city Y and Z :

d = sqrt(xy² + xz²)

d = sqrt(10² + 24²)

d = sqrt(100 + 576)

d = sqrt(676)

d = 26 miles
