Question

The map connects cities X, Y, and Z. The highways connecting the cities make a right triangle.
Leo drove from city Y to city Z and Samantha drove from city Y to city X and then from city X to city Z. How many more kilometers did Samantha drive than Leo? Using complete sentences, justify your answer

Answer 1

The distance from Y to X could be found by using pythrogea's theorem (30 km). Samantha drove 30 + 16 = 46km in total while Leo drove only 34 km. Take the difference between those 2. Samatha drove 12km more than Leo.

Answer 2
