Question

Kennedy lives in the middle of the city. Her friend Zoe lives 8 miles to the west and her friend Shiloh lives 6 miles to the south. Approximately how far apart do Zoe and Shiloh live from each other?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Draw a picture. The lines between their houses forms a right triangle. Kennedy is at the 90°. The distance between Shiloh and Zoe is the hypotenuse of the triangle, so use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Distance² = 8² + 6² = 100

Distance = √100 = 10 miles

Answer 2

i would say about 16 miles.
