Answer:
40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must find the distance between the mall and the house. The figure formed is a right triangle. The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:
a² + b² = c²
The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:
15² + 8² = c²
225 + 64 = c²
289 = c²
Take the square root of each side:
√289 = √(c²)
17 = c
This makes the total distance
15+8+17= 40 miles
