Helpp me plssseasee! ​

Answer 1

The distance from the enterprise to Springfield is 8.66 miles and not 16 miles.

Assuming the triangle to be a right-angled triangle, we can apply the Pythagoras theorem. So,

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

`a^2+5^2=10^2`

`a^2=100-25`

`a^2=75`

`a=√(75)`

a=
`5√(3)`

a=8.66miles

So, the distance from the enterprise to Springfield is 8.66 miles and not 16 miles.
