Question

The roads that connect three buildings form right triangle.Use the image to find the distance between the library and the museum.

Answer 1

Let X = the distance you need to find.

 Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can solve for x

x = SQRT( 500^2 - 300^2)

x = SQRT (250,000 - 90,000)

x = SQRT(160,000)

x = 400

 It is 400 yards
