Answer:

The answer is 5.8 km

Explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side c

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

c² = b² + a²

where

c is the hypotenuse

So we have


{c}^(2) = {5}^(2) + {3}^(2) \\ c = \sqrt{ {5}^(2) + {3}^(2) } \\ c = √( 25 + 9) \\ c = √(34) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = 5.83095189...

We have the final answer as

5.8 km to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
