Question

Reynaldo rode his bike 2 miles north and 3 miles east. Which equation should he use to find the distance, d, that takes him directly back home?
A triangle has side lengths 2, 3, and hypotenuse d.
2 squared + 3 squared = d squared
3 squared minus 2 squared = d squared
d squared + 2 squared = 3 squared
d squared + 3 squared = 2 squared

Answer 1

Answer:

The first one, 2 square+ 3 squared= d squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory for finding the hypotenuse of a triangle is:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}\\or\\(2)^{2}+(3)^{2}=d^{2}$
