Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is 3.71 Km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of coffee shop = 0.35 km

Distance of bookstore = 3.70 km

Let be the distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is x.

We need to calculate the distance between the bookstore and coffee shop

Using Pythagorean theorem,

$x=\sqrt{d_{c}^2+d_{b}^2}$

Where,

$d_{c}$ =Distance of coffee shop

$d_{b}$ =Distance of bookstore

Put the value into the formula

$x=\sqrt{0.35^2+3.70^2}$

$x=3.71\ km$

Hence, The distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is 3.71 Km.
