Answer:
583 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's draw this out (see attachment).
The straight line path creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of lengths 300 and 500. So, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:
a² + b² = c²
Here, a = 300 and b = 500. Then:
300² + 500² = c²
90000 + 250000 = c²
340000 = c²
c = √340000 ≈ 583.1 ≈ 583 mi
Thus, the answer is 583 miles.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the altitude to side c has a length of 11.3 inches.
<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>
The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs
and
of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:

To find the altitude relative to side c, we bisect this side, which cuts it's length into half(now of 4 inches), forming a right triangle in which:
- The altitude is the other leg.
- The side of 12 inches is the hypotenuse.
Hence:


x = 11.3 inches.
