Question

Theo, Nancy, and Mary each drove separately to meet at their grandmother’s house for dinner. Theo drove 50 miles, Nancy drove √2,840 miles, and Mary’s route is shown below.

A right triangle with side lengths 48 miles and 13 miles. The hypotenuse is labeled Mary's Route.

Approximately how many miles did Mary drive to her grandmother’s house?



Order the distances that each family member drove to their grandmother’s house from least to greatest.

Answer 1

Mary's route = 49.73 miles

Explanation:

`{r}^(2) = {x}^(2) + {y}^(2)`

`r = \sqrt{ {x}^(2) + {y}^(2) }`

`r = \sqrt{ {48}^(2) + {13}^(2) }`

`r = √(2473)`

`r = 49.73 \: miles`

`√(2840) = 53.3 \: miles`

Arranging the distances from least to greatest:

#1: Mary's route = 49.73 miles

#2: Theo's route = 50 miles

#3: Nancy's route = 53.3 miles

Answer 2

first is 49. 73; second Mary, Theo, Nancy
