Question

Help me with this Please

Three ballet dancers are positioned on stage. Mia is straight behind Jane and
directly left of Christine. If Jane and Mia are 3 meters apart, and Christine and Jane
are 5 meters apart, what is the distance between Mia and Christine?

Answer 1

Answer:3 m

Explanation:

Given

Mia is 3 m behind Jane

Mia is left to the Christine

Distance between Mia and Christine is 5 m

Thus they form a right angles triangle shown in fig

So we can write

`5^2=x^2+3^2`

Where x =distance between Mia and christine

`x^2=25-16`

`x^2=9`

`x=3\ m`
