Question

How much closer is it to travel from Aurora to Clifton directly than from Aurora to Clifton through Burlington?

Answer 1

Answer:

Here by Pythagoras theorem X= 72

Let Aurora be represented by A Burlington by B and Clifton by C

From A to C it will take 97 unit

l

From A to C through B it will take 65+72 that is 137 unit

Therefore your answer is 40 unit (137-97)

Answer 2

FIRST WE SOLVE THE X

BY PYTHAGORAS THERORAM

HYPOTENUSE²=BASE²+PERPENDICULAR²

97²=65²+X²

9409=4225+X²

X²=9409-4225

X²=5184

X=72

FROM AURORA TO CLIFTON IF WE GO DIRECTLY WE TRAVEL 97 UNIT DISTANCE

NOW WHEN WE TRAVEL AURORA TO CLIFTON VIA BURLINGTON WE TRAVEL 65+72= 135 UNIT DISTANCE

SO WE TRAVEL 135-97=38 UNITS LESS WHEN WE GO DIRECTLY FROM AURORA TO CLIFTON
