Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you observe, there is a right angled triangle formed where the dashed line is the hypotenuse.

using pythagoras theorem,

hypotenuse²=sum of squares of other two sides

hypotenuse²=5²+12²

hypotenuse²=25+144

hypotenuse²=169

hypotenuse²=13²

hypotenuse=13 miles

∴distance across the pond = hypotenuse = 13 miles
