Question

After school, Bruce skateboards directly from school to a skate park and then from the

skate park to a movie theater. The skate park is 9 kilometers south of the school and the
movie theater is 12 kilometers east of the skate park. What is the straight-line distance
between the school and the movie theater?

Answer 1

It’s 15 km. You need to take the root from 9^2 + 12^2 wich equals 15. You need to use pythagoras a^2 + b^= c^2
