Question

Shane is mountain climbing with Naomi and had just climbed a 7.8 meter vertical rock face. Naomi is standing 6.2 meters away from the bottom of the cliff, looking up at Shane. How far away are Shane and Naomi? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

1.6 meters

Explanation:

The distance between Shane and the bottom of the cliff is 7.8 meter while Naomi is standing 6.2 meters away from the bottom of the cliff.

As such, the distance between Shane and Naomi would be the difference between Shane's distance from the bottom of the cliff and Naomi's distance from the bottom of the cliff

= 7.8 - 6.2

= 1.6 meters

This is already in the nearest tenth
