In order to walk to school from your house, you walk 0. 8 mi north and 0. 5 miles east. What is the direct distance from your house to school

Sagot :

The direct distance from your house to school as calculated from the given data is 0.9434 miles.

Let

the distance walked North = A = 0.8 miles

the distance walked East= B = 0.5 miles

the direct distance between house and school be C

On using pythagoras theorem,

C² = A² + B²

   = 0.8 ²+ 0.5 ²

   = 0.89

C =0.9434 miles

A right triangle's three sides are related in Euclidean geometry by the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras' theorem.

According to this rule, the areas of the squares on the other two sides add up to the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse, or the side across from the right angle. This theorem can be expressed as the Pythagorean equation, which is an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b, and the hypotenuse c , C² = A² + B².
