Answer:

The estimated distance is 8.1cm.

The actual distance is 8.106cm.

Explanation:

Given that the Pythogorean Theorem, c² = a² + b². Then substitute the following values into the formula :

${c}^(2) = {a}^(2) + {b}^(2)$

Let a = 5.1cm,

Let b = 6.3cm,

${c}^(2) = {5.1}^(2) + {6.3}^(2)$

${c}^(2) = 26.01 + 39.69$

${c}^(2) = 65.7$

c = √(65.7)

$c = 8.106cm \: (3d.p)$
