to avoid a large shallow reef a ship set a course from point a and traveled 24 miles east to point b . the ship them turn and tr
aveled 33 miles south to point c. if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c about how many miles could it have saved
1 answer:
First, we are going to find the distance traveled by the ship adding the tow distances:
Distance traveled= 24 mi +33 mi=57 mi
Next, we are going to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance from

to

:


d^2=1665


mi
Finally, we are going to subtract the two distances:
57 mi -40.8 mi= 16.2 mi
We can conclude that <span>if the ship could have traveled in a straight lime from point a to point c, it could have saved
16.2 miles.</span>
