So, the formula for Pythagorean theorem is A² + B² = C²

We can solve this problem by plugging the values in

0.7² + 2.5² = C or 0.49 + 6.25 = 6.74

Now find √6.74

which is 2.5

So the bike path side of the triangle (c) would be 2.5

Hope that helps!!

Answer:

0.6 miles.

Explanation:

We have been given a diagram.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve our given problem, which states that sum of square of two legs of right triangle must be equal to square of hypotenuse.


a^2+b^2=h^2

Let us substitute the given values:


2.4^2+0.7^2=h^2


5.76+0.49=h^2


6.25=h^2

Switch sides:


h^2=6.25

Take square root of both sides:


h=√(6.25)


h=2.5

Now we will subtract 2.5 from the sum of there two sides as:


2.4+0.7-2.5=3.1-2.5=0.6

Therefore, Felix travel 0.6 miles farther by riding along the two sides of park.
