Question

Here’s the new one, few more to go!

Answer 1

44 km

Explanation:

Let's find x using the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 165^2 = 173^2

x^2 = 173^2 - 165^2

x^2 = 29,929 - 27,225

x = sqrt(2704)

x = 52

Indianapolis to Lima: 173 km

Indianapolis to Dayton then to Lima = 165 km + 52 km = 217 km

Difference: 217 km - 173 km = 44 km

Answer: 44 km
