Question

You start driving east for 14 miles, turn left, and drive north for another 6 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight line distance from your starting point? Round to the nearest tenth of a mile.

Answer 1

Answer: 15.2

Step-by-step explanation:

(14)^2 + (6)^2 = c^2

196 + 36 = c^2

232 = c^2

Square root both sides

15.231546 = c

15.2 ≈ c
