Question

Reynaldo rode his bike 2 miles north and 3 miles east. Which equation should he use to find the distance, d, that takes him directly back home?

A triangle has side lengths 2, 3, and hypotenuse d.
2 squared + 3 squared = d squared
3 squared minus 2 squared = d squared
d squared + 2 squared = 3 squared
d squared + 3 squared = 2 squared

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

(A) 2 squared + 3 squared = d squared

2^2+3^2=d^2

Explanation:

Answer 2

The first one, 2 square+ 3 squared= d squared

Explanation:

The theory for finding the hypotenuse of a triangle is:

`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)\\or\\(2)^(2)+(3)^(2)=d^(2)`
