Answer 2

Answer:

20 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

please refer the pic attached below...

TO FIND : AC (maria's distance from the office)

GIVEN : AB = 12 blocks , BC = 16 blocks

So in ΔABC, by pythogoras theorum

AC² = AB² + BC³

AC² = 12² + 16²

AC² = 144 + 256

AC² = 400

AC = √400

∴ AC = 20 blocks

Maria is 20 blocks away from her office.
