Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.35 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.70 km to a bookstore.how far apart are their destination?
Answer:
The distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is 3.71 Km.
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance of coffee shop = 0.35 km
Distance of bookstore = 3.70 km
Let be the distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is x.
We need to calculate the distance between the bookstore and coffee shop
Using Pythagorean theorem,
\(x=\sqrt{d_{c}^2+d_{b}^2}\)
Where,
\(d_{c}\) =Distance of coffee shop
\(d_{b}\) =Distance of bookstore
Put the value into the formula
\(x=\sqrt{0.35^2+3.70^2}\)
\(x=3.71\ km\)
Hence, The distance between the bookstore and coffee shop is 3.71 Km.
