Answer:

distance across the pond: 13 yd

distance walked by Garret: 12 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  • distance across the pond: x yd
  • distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
  • distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd

A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 5² + (x-1)²

x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1

0 = 26 - 2x

x = 13
