Question

Please help and explain

Answer 1

A. 500 yards

Explanation:

1 block = 100 yards

one leg: 4*100= 400 yards

second leg: 3*100= 300 yards

hypotenuse:

pythagorean theorem

hypotenuse ^2 = (one leg)^2 + (second leg)^2

hypotenuse ^2= (400)^2 + (300)^2

hypotenuse ^2 = 160,000 + 90,000

hypotenuse = sqrt(250,000)

hypotenuse = 500 yards

Answer 2

A. 500 yards

Explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem:

`\sqrt{ {3}^(2) + {4}^(2) } = √(9 + 16) = √(25) = 5`

The distance from the park to Anita's house is 5 blocks, which is

5 blocks × 100 yards/block = 500 yards.
