If you are on a ship at sea navigating to a point that is 300 miles north and 400 miles west, find the distance from tour ship to that point. Show your work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed.

300 miles and 400 miles are the legs of the triangle.

We can apply Pythagorean theorem.

13.46

step-by-step explanation:

16.80 x .20 = 13.46

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
