Question

maki is playing hide and seek with Emily and Liam. Emily is hiding 7 m south of maki, and Liam is hiding due east of emily . if maki is 25 meters from liam, how far apart are emily and liam

Answer 1

By pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a = $\sqrt{c^{2} -b^{2} }$

a = $\sqrt{625-49}$

a = 24 m
