Question

A fish swims 10 yards north and 15 yards east from the boat that just caught it and threw it back. How many yards is the fish from the boat?

Answer 1

18.0277563773 yards

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is
`a^(2)` +
`b^(2)` =
`c^(2)`

`10^(2)` +
`15^(2)` =
`c^(2)`

100 + 225 =
`c^(2)`

325 =
`c^(2)`

`√(325)` =
`\sqrt{c^(2) }`

8.0277563773 = c
