The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following... Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".
600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²
The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length
y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>
