Two ships are near a buoy in the open ocean. one ship is 20 km due north of the buoy, and the other ship is 13.5 km due east of the buoy.
enter a number in the box to correctly complete the statement. round the answer to the nearest tenth.
the distance between the two ships is
km

The distance between the two ships is 24.1 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance due to north = 20 km

Distance due to east = 13.5 km

We need to find the distance between the two ships:

Since it forms right angled triangle:

So, we will apply "Pythagorus theorem":

Hence, the distance between the two ships is 24.1 km.
