Question

Jimmy ran 3 miles west from home and then turned north and jogged 4 miles. In a straight line, how far is Jimmy from home?

Answer 1

5 miles

we can find with phythagoran therem

Answer 2

Answer:

c=5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If u were to draw this out, u would have the shape of a right triangle....with the legs being 3 miles and 4 miles......and a straight line would be the hypotenuse. So we use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 = c^2

25 = c^2

sqrt 25 = c

5 = c

so Jimmy is 5 miles from home
