Question

You start driving north for 35 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 12 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight line distance from your starting point?

Answer 1

37

Explanation:

a[2]+b[2]=c[2]

35[2]+12[2]=c[2]

1225+144=c[2]

`√(1369)`=37

Answer 2

35 miles

Explanation:

I think its 35 because the information about turning right 12 miles is unnecessary because the question states what is the straight line distance from our starting point.
