Answer:
17.8
Explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
To find the distance between Tallahassee and Miami we need to find the distance from...
(10,17) and (10,3)
as well as (10,3) and (21,3)
The distance from the point (10,17) to (10,3) is the difference in y or 17-3, which gives you 14
The distance from the point (10,3) to (21,3) is the difference in x or 21-10, which gives you 11
Now you can plug in the values in the pythagorean theorem like so:
14^2+11^2=c^2
196+121=c^2
317=c^2
Square root both sides
The sqrt of 317 is approximately 17.804, rounding to 17.8 to the nearest tenths place.
