Runners in a long distance race start out going 6 kilometers east and then head north for the remainder of the race. The finish

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

alright lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

the runner traveled, six kilometers east.

Next, they turn to north and suppose they run x kilometers.

The starting and the ending points distance is 10 kilometers.

There will be a right triangle formed, we can find the value of x by using Pythagorean theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$6^2+x^2=10^2$

$36+x^2=100$

Subtracting 36 from both sides

$x^2=100-36=64$

$x=8$

So, the runners travel 8 kilometers to the north. : answer

Hope it will help. :)
