Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the following question. A ping-pong ball is shot straight north from a popgun at 4.0 m/s. The wind is blowing to the west at 3.0 m/s. What is the actual velocity of the ping-pong ball?

Answer 2

she has traveled 4+6+4=14 blocks
but she is 4 blocks North from the original position.

Answer 3

use pythagorian theorem
which says
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
\[c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\]
