Question

How many total miles has he traveled will his total miles traveled be larger or smaller than the hypotenuse

Answer 1

Hypotenuse would be 17 miles. So that means his total miles he traveled would be 23 so his total miles he traveled would be larger than the hypotenuse.

Explanation:

8^2 + 15^ 2 = c^2

64 + 225 = c^2

289 = c^2

`√(289)` = c

c = 17
