Aman drove 14 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 8 mi north to his place of work. if a road was made directly from his home to his place of work, what would its distance be to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Andy wants to find the distance d across a river. he located points as shown in the figure, then use similar triangles to find that d = 223.5 feet. how can you tell without calculating that he must be wrong? tell what you think he did wrong and correct his error. round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. andy must have used the wrong . the distance d is actually feet.
