Question

you start driving east with 14 miles turn left and Drive North for another 10 miles at the end of driving what is your straight line distance from your starting point​

Answer 1

Answer:

17.205 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these directions form a 90-degree angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

14^2 + 10^2 = c^2

196 + 100 = c^2

296 = c^2

It doesn't have a perfect square root, you can either say that it is $\sqrt{296}$ or approximately 17.205 miles.
