Question

To drive to work, Dave has to drive 20 miles east and then 15 miles north. If there were a direct road going northeast, how many miles would he have to drive?

Answer 1

to find the direct road going northeast use Pythagorean theorem hence segment AC=
\[\sqrt{20^{2}+15^{2}}\]
i usually confuse btw east and west so if the B must be on the other side of A then so does the C. Solving the problem will be the same , only triangle flipped with respect to a vertical line

Answer 2

\[AC =\sqrt{AB ^{2} + BC ^{2}}\]

Answer 3

25?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

thanks

Answer 6
