Question

Julie is looking at a treasure map. The map is marked in paces. If she is standing at the streetlight, how many paces will it be for her to go directly to the bridge?

Answer 1

So, each square represents a pace?

Answer 2

yup

Answer 3

Let's create a triangle using the paces we need.
First off let's take 7 paces to the left and then about 5 up, and we want to find the hypotenuse of the triangle:

\[x^2 = 5^2 + 7 ^2\]

Answer 4

74

Answer 5

Close, what you just calculated was this:
\[x^2=74\]
Now, taking the square root on both sides:
\[x = \sqrt{ 74}\]

Answer 6

8.6

Answer 7

Correct.

Answer 8

its not an option but the closest are 7 and 10

Answer 9

I would say the answer is 10.

Answer 10
