A) 17 miles because using Pythagorean theory we know that a squared + b squared = c squared

Answer:

D) 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the distance between the mall and the house.  The figure formed is a right triangle.  The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle.  We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:

a² + b² = c²

The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:

15² + 8² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

Take the square root of each side:

√289 = √(c²)

17 = c

This makes the total distance

15+8+17= 40 miles
