I'll do the math for this, it may take me a few minutes so i will update this comment with an answer in just a minute. I always get anxious when nobody replies kind of quickly as i feel it is being forgotten. So just a heads up i'm working on a answer!
If it’s a triangle then it has to equal 180
so 48+54+x=180
48+54=102
180-102=x
x=78
Answer:
40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached diagram, Point A is the starting point and C is the end point. We want to determine the distance from A to C.
The path driven forms a right triangle in which AC is the hypotenuse.
We therefore use the<u> Pythagorean Theorem</u> to solve for the AC.
Pythagorean Theorem:
The straight line distance from the starting point is 40 miles.
