Q:
The roads that connect three buildings form a right triangle. Use the image to find the distance between the library and the museum.
Accepted Solution
A:
knowing a² + b² = c²
a = 300 yards
b = ?
c = 500 yards
so plugging into the equation gives 300² + b² = 500², solving for b
b² = 500² - 300²
b = √(160000 = 400 yards
