Question

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.40 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.65 km to a bookstore. How fare apart is there destination?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.67 km

Explanation:

Joe distance towards coffee shop is,

$OB=0.40 km$

And the Max distance towards bookstore is,

$OA=3.65 km$

Now the distance between the Joy and Max will be,

By applying pythagorus theorem,

$AB=\sqrt{OB^{2}+OA^{2}}$

Substitute 0.40 km for OB and 3.65 km for OA in the above equation.

$AB=\sqrt{0.40^{2}+3.65^{2}}\\AB=\sqrt{13.4825} \\AB=3.67 km$

Therefore the distance between there destination is 3.67 km.
