NAVIGATION
20. The Pythagorean theorem is useful for two dimensional navigation. For instance if you
are at a sea and navigation at a point that is 300 miles north and 400 miles west, we
can use this theorem to find the distance from our ship to that point.
North
Distance in mes
west-
Ship
Distance in mile

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given:-

north =300miles = altitude

west = 400 miles = base

finding the hypotenuse

H= $\sqrt{b^{2} +a^{2} } \\\sqrt{300^{2}+400^{2} } \\\sqrt{90000+160000}\\ \sqrt{250000}\\ 500 miles$
