20 mi
25 mi
10 mi
35 mi

Answer 1

use pythagoras theorem 15^2 + 20^2 = c^2

then the shorter distance is 35 via Dunlap or your answer from above

Answer 2

I get 4900 = c^2

Answer 3

I got 625.... 15^2 = 225 40^2 = 400

Answer 4

oops 20^2 = 400

Answer 5

don't forget to take the square root to get the correct distance
