Answer:
1) 2) 8 3) 0.8 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for pythagoream theorem is
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (the caret "^" represents exponents)
A = a side length
B = another side length
C = the hypotnuse which is the slanted side of the right triangle.
To solve these problems plug in the known values into the equation then solve.
Answer:
The hikers are 5.9 miles apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let O represents the base camp,
Suppose after walking 3.5 miles west, first hiker's position is A, then after going 1.5 miles north from A his final position is B,
Similarly, after walking 2 miles east, second hiker's position is C then going towards 0.5 miles south his final position is D.
By making the diagram of this situation,
Let D' is the point in the line AB,
Such that, AD' = CD
In triangle BD'D,
BD' = AB + AD' = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 miles,
DD' = AC = AO + OC = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5 miles,
By Pythagoras theorem,
Hence, the hikers are 5.9 miles apart.
