Kathy lives directly east of the park. The football field is directly south of the park. The library sits on the line formed bet

Look at the picture in the attachment.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, set up a system of three equations:
$x^2+y^2=(12+9)^2 \\
12^2+z^2=x^2 \\
9^2+z^2=y^2 \\ \\
x^2+y^2=441 \\
144+z^2=x^2 \\
81+z^2=y^2$

$\hbox{substitute } 144+z^2 \hbox{ for } x^2 \hbox{ and } 81+z^2 \hbox{ for } y^2 \hbox{ in the first equation:} \\
144+z^2+81+z^2=441 \\
225+2z^2=441 \\
2z^2=441-225 \\
2z^2=216 \\
z^2=\frac{216}{2} \\
z^2=108 \\
z=\sqrt{108} \\
z=\sqrt{36 \times 3} \\
z=6\sqrt{3} \\ z \approx 10.39$

$81+z^2=y^2 \\
81+108=y^2 \\
189=y^2 \\
\sqrt{189}=y \\
\sqrt{9 \times 21}=y \\
y=3\sqrt{21} \\ y \approx 13.75$

a. The library is approximately 10.39 miles (exactly: 6√3 miles) from the park.
b. The park is approximately 13.75 miles (exactly: 3√21 miles) from the football field.
