Question

Wesley sailed his boat north for 18 miles then due east for another 18 miles approximately how far is Wesley from where he began

Answer 1

18 miles north
+18 miles east
=36 miles northeast

Answer 2

Answer:

Wesley is approximately 25.46 miles far from where he began

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance by which the boat is sailed in North = 18 miles

Distance by which the boat is sailed east = 18 miles.

So, The distance traveled by him is in the form of right angled and to find the distance between  finial and initial position, we need to calculate the hypotenuse side.

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 18² + 18²

                           = 324 + 324 = 25.46 miles.

Hence, Wesley is approximately 25.46 miles far from where he began
