Brent leaves school to go home. He walks 10 blocks north and then 6 blocks west. If Brent could walk in a straight line to the school, what is the exact distance between Brent and school

11.66 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that he walks 10 blocks north and then 6 blocks west..

When combined with the straight line to the school, this forms a right angled triangle with the straight line as the hypotenuse.

Hence, let the straight line be h

h^2 = 10^2 + 6^2 (using Pythagoras theorem)

h^2 = 100 + 36

h^2 = 136

h = √ 136

h = 11.66 units

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.
