Dante walks 0.5 Km north. Starting from the same point, Richie walks 1.2 Km east. What would be the distance separating the two boys?​

Sagot :

Answer:

The distance (d) between the two boys can be found using the Pythagorean theorem given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}[/tex]

where (x) is the horizontal distance and (y) is the vertical distance.

Plugging in the values:

[tex]x = 1.2 \text{ km}, \quad y = 0.5 \text{ km}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{(1.2)^2 + (0.5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{1.44 + 0.25}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{1.69}[/tex]

d = 1.3 km
