Question

which of the following options is closest to the distance in miles between points A and B? A- 6.71 B- 7.35 C- 8.66 D- 10.82

Answer 1

Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 6^2 = 9^2
x^2 + 36 = 81
x^2 = 81 - 36
x^2 = 45
x = sqrt(45)
x = 6.7082 which is approximate

The value 6.7082 rounds to 6.71

Answer: Choice A) 6.71

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer here would be the letter A because just be looking at the image the distance between point A and B is not much longer than the distance between Point B and C

hope this helps
