Question

Two children in nearby houses attempt to use walkie-talkies to communicate. The walkie-talkies reach one-quarter of a mile (1,320 feet). From one child's house to the other, the walk along the sidewalks is as follows: Proceed 450 feet from the first house to the nearest corner, turn right 90 °, and proceed another 1,050 feet.

Are the children's houses within the 1,320-foot range of one another? Choose the best answer.

Answer 1

Yes within the range. Distance is 1,142.36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance =
`\sqrt{ 450^(2)+1050^(2) }` =
`√(1305000)` = 1,142.36
