For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We know:
Length of the sides of the triangle
We want to know:
Length of the hypotenuse
Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

Rewriting the expression we have:

Then, the distance that he would have saved if he travels directly is:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
![(4 + 3) \sqrt[5]{x {}^{2}y } = 7 \sqrt[5]{ {x}^{2}y }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%284%20%2B%203%29%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7Bx%20%7B%7D%5E%7B2%7Dy%20%7D%20%3D%207%20%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7Dy%20%7D%20)
Pi: Irrational
√(2/3): Irrational
0.57575757 is rational
and -1/2 is rational.
I hope this helps.
