Question

Layne rode his bike from point A to B by using Cherry Street. How much further would his trip have been if he took Orange Drive and Peach Avenue instead?​

Answer 1

28 yds

Explanation:

Riding from point A to B using Cherry street = 85 yds

Riding through Orange drive and Peach avenue from point A to point B = length of Orange drive + length of Peach Avenue

Peach avenue = 77 yds

Find length of Orange Avenue using Pythagorean Theorem:

Length of Orange drive = √(85² - 77²) = 36 yds

✔️total distance riding through Orange drive and Peach avenue from point A to point B = 36 + 77 = 113 yds

Therefore, his trip would be further by:

113 - 85 = 28 yds
