Question

Mikey biked 12 miles north to a park and then 5 miles west to the mall. Find how far Mickey is from the starting point.

Write your answer in the box.

Answer 1

13 miles

Explanation:

For this equation you would use the Pythagorean Theorem.
`a^(2)+b^(2) =c^(2)` .

12 x 12 = 144

5 x 5 = 25

144 + 25 = 169

`√(169)` = 13
