Answer: c.28 yards
Explanation:
Hi, Since the triangle is a right triangle we have to apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the lenght of Orange Dr street.
c2 = a2+b2
Where c is the hypotenuse (the longest side) and a and b are the other sides of the triangle.
Replacing with the values given
85^2 = 77^2 + b^2
7225 = 5929 +b^2
7225-5929 = b^2
1296 = b^2
√1296 = b
36 = b ( orange Dr length)
Adding the lengths of orange and Peach ave .
36+77 = 113 yards
Subtracting the length of cherry st.(85)
113 -85 = 28 yards
His trip would have been 28 yards further
