How do you find the diagonal distance when a girl hikes 3 miles north and 4 miles east?

We can find the diagonal distance using the Pythagorean Theorem (PT). PT is a formula that calculates the diagonal distance (c) when it knows the value of north/south (a) and east/west (b).

PT is a²+b²=c², so we simply need to substitute 3 and 4 in for a and b, respectively.

a²+b²=c²
3²+4²=c²
9+16=c²
25=c²

5=c

Using the math above, we can see the diagonal distance from her starting point is 5 miles.

It would be very great if u would let me take your dog home forever you i love you ti so much carmen you don’t even know bby
