Could someone please explain/help me to do this using Pythagoras theorem?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
→ First understand what Pythagoras theorem is
Pythagoras is a theorem used to find the hypotenuse (the side opposite to the right-angle) of a triangle. We would need the base lengths as well the height in order to use Pythagoras.
→ State the formula and identify the letters
a² + b² = c² ⇒ where 'a' is 380cm, 'b' is 290cm and 'c' is what we are trying to work out
→ Substitute in the values into the formula
380² + 290² = c²
⇒ Simplify
144400 + 84100 = c²
⇒ Collect the numbers together
228500 = c²
⇒ Square root both sides to find 'c'
478.0167361 = c
→ The length of the diagonal is 478.02

Answer:
Pablo drove the greatest distance of 527 miles.
Missing Content:
Since information on Pablo is not given, it is impossible to solve this problem. Let us assume some scenario for Pablo. Say:
(3)Pablo averaged 52.7 miles per hour and drove for 10 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using this information, we can find out the data on Al,
Al drove 1 hour longer than Pablo so,
Time Al drove= 10+1 =11 hours
Average rate of Al=Pablo's average rate-5= 52.7-5 = 47.7 miles per hour.
We know that,
Average Speed =
Distance =Average Speed x Time
Distance travelled by Al = 47.7 x 11 =524.7 miles
Distance Travelled by Marsha = 50 x 9=450 miles
Distance Travelled by Pablo= 52.7 x 10= 527 miles
<u>As we can see that Pablo drove the greatest distance which is 527 miles.</u>
