HELP!! I WILL MARK FIRST RIGHT PERSON BRAINIEST!!!!!!!! Dana walks to the store from the park, it is 8 blocks south and 6 blocks
west using city streets. She found a short cut that used a diagonal by cutting through the woods that the streets surrounded. How far did she have to walk using the shortcut?
South and West are perpendicular to each other, meaning they form a right angle. With the diagonal intersecting with each of the corners, we can form a right triangle. We can use Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) to find that 8^2 + 6^2 = (diagonal)^2. 8^2 + 6^2 = 100. The square route of 100 is 10, meaning Dana would have to walk 10 blocks.
Step-by-step explanation: well if you say start at (12, 3) move 7 units up then 3 units right then it would make it easier to figure it out cus as you can see start at 3 and go up 7 it would stop at 10 then if you go over 2 from 12 it would stop at 10
