Question

Wayne used the diagram to compute the distance from Ferris, to Dunlap, to Butte. How much shorter is the distance directly from Ferris to Butte than the distance Wayne found?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question you have to use Pythagorus Theorem. a²+b²=c²

a = 15

b = 20

So, 15²+ 20² = c²

= 225 + 400 = 625

So Ferris to Butte is $\sqrt{625}$ which is 25.

So now you would do 15 + 20 to find out Wayne's distance. 35 - 25 = 10.

Hope it made sense and I didn't waffle
