Sagot :

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for this.

[tex]c=\sqrt[\square]{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

Given:

Jada's track:

a = 12 blocks

b = 5 blocks

Required:

No. of blocks Jordan walked, c = ?

Solution:

[tex]\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[\square]{a^2+b^2} \\ c=\sqrt[\square]{12^2+5^2} \\ c=\sqrt[\square]{144+25} \\ c=\sqrt[\square]{169} \\ c=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]
