Answer 1

You'd have to find the length of C using the Pythagorean theorem.
So 15^2 + 8^2 = c^2
64 + 225 = c^2
289 = c^2
find the square root of each side
17 = c
You then add each side 15 + 8 + 17 which equals to 40 so 40 miles total !!

Answer 2

D)

Explanation:

The hypotenuse is a bit longer than that of the longer side.

Say, 17 miles.

15+8+17

23+17

40

40 is equal to D.

Hope this helped!
