Question

PLEASE HELP

Jennifer walks 9 blocks south and 5 blocks west. Approximately how many blocks is she from
home if she were to take a direct path?

Answer 1

approximately 11 blocks

Answer 2

10.3 (Rounded up)

Explanation:

Pythagorean's theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

You're finding c^2, which is the direct path she would take to get back home. 9^2 + 5^2 is 81 + 25 = 106. Square root of 106 is 10.3 rounded up.
