Question

4. A boat sails east for 35 miles and then turns to sail 10 miles south. What is the distance of the boat from its ending point back to its starting point? 36.4 miles 33.5 miles 40.8 miles 25 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

36.4mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat sailed two legs of a right-angled triangle.

The distance from the starting point is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

d = √(35² + 10²)

  = √(1225 + 100)

  = √1325

  = 36.4 mi
