using the Pythagorean Thereom:

3^2 +4^2 = X^2

9 +16 = 25

x^2 = 25

X = sqrt (25)

x = 5

 it would be 5 miles

Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Going 3 miles due south and 4 miles due east (since school is 4 miles west of Jimmy's house, this means Jimmy's house is due east of the school) forms the legs of a right triangle.

To find the missing side length of a right triangle, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

The opposite of "squared" is "square root":

√25 = √(c²)

5 = c

The square root of 83 can be platted on the number line below
wel
The answer is some number between 9 and 10.
Explanation:
√83
is an irrational number. You won't be able to simplify it any further either, since it doesn't have any perfect square factors.
However, you will be able to tell between which two numbers it lies in.
9^2 is 81 and 10^2 is 100
. Therefore, you can say that a certain number between 9 and 10 is 83 when squared.
If you're looking for an exact answer, then it will be 9.11043357914... (I got that using a calculator).
