Jane and miguel are siblings. they go to different schools. jane walks 6 blocks east from home. miguel 8 blocks north. how many blocks apart would the 2 schools be if you could walk straight from one school to the other

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
 We have two sides.
 We want to find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
 We have then:
 h = root ((a) ^ 2 + (b) ^ 2)
 Substituting values we have:
 h = root ((6) ^ 2 + (8) ^ 2)
 h = root (36 + 64)
 h = root (100)
 h = 10
 
 If you could walk straight from one school to the other, the 2 schools would be at:
 h = 10 blocks

Heptagon is the correct ans
