Answer:
It would take 1 more mile if he took route Street A and then Street B rather than just Street C.
Explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
We use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of Street C:
2² + 1.5² = c²
c = √6.25
c = 2.5
Now we find how much longer route A and B is compared to C:
3.5 - (2 + 1.5) = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1
