Answer:
The Pythagorean Theorem can be used on a right triangle to find a missing side's length.
A dog's Frisbee is thrown 7 feet east from it's owner. The dog is 5 feet away from the owner. How far is the dog from the Frisbee?
Knowing the directions of the compass, the model should form a right triangle.
5 and 7 would be the legs. How far the dog would be from the Frisbee would be the hypotenuse.
We need to solve for the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem.
8.60232526704 ≈ 8.6
c ≈ 8.6
The dog is about 8.6 feet from the Frisbee.
