Question

This is math i swear its not geography but plz help !

Answer 1

The answer is C.)

The side of Lincoln to Tallahassee is the largest. The distance between Houston and Tallahassee is smaller, meaning that it is accurately a larger number. It would be simple to understand that the base and height of the triangle could NOT add up to 1,600 because they would both have to be at least HALF the length of the distance between Tallahassee but they are not. Meaning the answer is 1,321

Hope this helps,

Answer 2

I believe the answer is C. 1,131 miles

Explanation:

When we use a right triangle to solve, we already know the angles on the right triangle must be 45 45 90, since all triangles equal 180. Then using tan45 times 800 we get the side between Houston and Lincoln which is also 800. Pythag then solves 800²+800²=c²

c²=1280000 so √1280000 =1131
