distance from Pearland to Dallas, Texas? *

Answer 1

d = 167.7 m

Explanation:

We have,

Mrs. Tyner drove about 150 km east from Pearland, to Houston, Texas. She drove about another 75 km north to Dallas.

It is required to find the approximate air distance from Pearland to Dallas, Texas.

The resultant vector will give the approximate air distance. So,

`d=√(150^2+75^2) \\\\d=167.7\ m`

So, the approximate air distance from Pearland to Dallas, Texas is 167.7 m.
