There are 8! Eight sides on the shape, and all sides are the same shape.
The friend is wrong - According to the Pythagorean Theorm, if c is the hypotenuse and a and b are opposite sides then c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}
if c=65 inches, a=16 inches and b = 63 inches, then
65^{2} =16 ^{2} + 63^{2}
right hand side of the equation = 256 + 3969 = 4225
left hand side of the equation = 65^{2}= 4225
So we see, left hand side = right hand side
Hence the theorm is proved.
Answer:
Sacramento is 8cm from San Francisco.
8cm in map = 91 miles
91/8 = 11.375
1cm in map = 11.375 miles
Sacramento is 7 cm away from Modesto.
7 · 11.375 = 79.625
The actual distance is 79.625 miles
