<h3>Calculation of distance using Pythagorean theorem</h3>The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Formula for the Pythagorean theorem =
a²= b²+c²
From the diagram given,
The hypotenuse (a) = x²
b= 1.82²
c = 4.8²
x² = 1.82² + 4.8²
x²= 3.3124 + 23.04
x²= 26.3524
a= √26.3524
a= 5.1 meters.
