Answer 2

ANSWER

Note :- Please refer to the attachment for diagram.

$\large\mathfrak{1+ 2 = 3}$

Now by using pythagoras theorem

$\large\sf{c^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} }$

• a = side of right triangle
• b = side of right triangle
• c = hypotenuse

By using formula, we get

$\large\sf{= {3}^{2} + {4}^{2} }$

$\large\sf{ = \sqrt{9 + 16} }$

$\large\sf{ = \sqrt{25} }$

$\large\sf{ = 5 \: km}$
