Question

Leah walks to soccer practice on Saturday. She leaves her home and walks 600 meters north. Leah then turns east and continues on to the soccer field. The soccer field is 1000 meters from her home. How far east did Leah walk?

Answer 1

Answer:

800m

Step-by-step explanation:

this would be solved using Pythagoras theorem

we are to find the base

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

600² + b² = 100²

b² = 10000 - 3600

b² = 6400

take the square root of both sides

b = 800m
