Answer:

The distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is 3.71 Km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance of coffee shop = 0.35 km

Distance of bookstore = 3.70 km

Let be the distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is x.

We need to calculate the distance between the bookstore and coffee shop

Using Pythagorean theorem,


x=\sqrt{d_(c)^2+d_(b)^2}

Where,


d_(c) =Distance of coffee shop


d_(b) =Distance of bookstore

Put the value into the formula


x=√(0.35^2+3.70^2)


x=3.71\ km

Hence, The distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is 3.71 Km.
