Answer 1

Answer:

Jardon will walk 92 yards more to reach work via his friend's house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Jardon's home and his friend's home = 240 yards

Distance between friend's house and work = 120 yards

To measure the distance between Jardan's home and work directly we will use the Pythagoras theorem,

Distance from Jardon's home to work directly = $\sqrt{(240)^2+(120)^2}$

                                                                             = 120√5

                                                                             = 268.33 yards

Distance between Jardon's house via his friend's house = 240 + 120

                                                                                              = 360 yards

Difference between both the ways to reach the work = 360 - 268.33

                                                                                         = 91.67

                                                                                         ≈ 92 yards

Therefore, Jardon will walk 92 yards more to reach work via his friend's house.
