Question

The library is located 1.8 miles west of Callie’s house. The grocery store is located 2.4 miles south of the library. What is the length of a straight line between Callie’s house and the grocery store?

Answer 1


`3` Miles

Explanation:

`1.8^2+2.4^2=c^2`


`9=c^2`

`9-c^2=c^2-c^2`

`-c^2+9=0`

`-c^2+9-9=0-9`

`-c^2=-9`

`(-c^2)/(-1) = (-9)/(-1)`

`c^2=9`

`c=+√(9)`

`c=3`

Answer 2
