Answer:

Lake to House= ~4.92.  Total Length= 11.42 miles

Step-by-step explanation: Lets assume that it is a right triangle .

Your house being the 90 degree angle and the path from the lake to your house being the hypotenuse.

Then to find the lenght you did Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a=2mi

b=4.5

(2 * 2) + (4.5 * 4.5) = c^2

24.25= c^2

[tex]\sqrt{24.25}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{c^{2} }[/tex]

c = ~4.92
