A man drove 16 mi directly east from his home, made a left turn at an intersection, and then traveled 2 mi north to his place of work. If a road was made directly from his home to his place of work, what would its distance be to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16. 1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean Theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since the road that goes from his home to work directly is c^2...

Plug in the rest of the numbers

16^2 + 2^2 = c^2

256 + 4 = c^2

260 = c^2

The reverse square of 260 is

16. 1 miles
