Answer:
17 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.
Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2
This will give you 289=c^2
Take the square root of both sides to get c=17
Hope this helps!
IV : 17 > 2 or 6 < 9......these are true....17 is greater then 2 and 6 is less then 9
