Question

A fish swims 10 yards north and 15 yards east from the boat that just caught it and threw it back. How many yards is the fish from the boat?

Answer 1

Answer:

18.0277563773 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is $a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

$10^{2}$ + $15^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

100 + 225 = $c^{2}$

325 = $c^{2}$

$\sqrt{325}$ = $\sqrt{c^{2} }$

8.0277563773 = c
