Answer:
Explanation:
The car travel 10ft north then 15ft due west. In order to find the distance from starting point. We need to find the hypotenuse where the distance to north and west are the adjacent side.
We can use Pythagorean’s theorem according to that:
Let c be the distance from starting point.
And a and b be the distance travel to north and west.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 15^2 = c^2
100 + 225 = c^2
325 = c^2
Sqrt(325) = c
5sqrt(13) = c
Therefore, the distance from starting point is 5sqrt(13) ft
