Question

Tyron left his house and drove 30 miles north, then 17 miles east. Birds eye view, how far is he from his house?

Answer 1

Answer:You have to use the pythogoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right angled triangle.

Taking A as 30 miles and B as 17 miles,we can write :

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

30^2 + 17^2 = C^2

C^2 = 900 + 289

= 1189 miles.

So, Tyron is 1188 miles away from his house.
