Question

You start driving north for 32 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 24 miles.
At the end of driving, what is your straight line distance from your starting point?

Answer 1

It’s a right triangle so the answer would be 40

Answer 2

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

a[2]+b[2]=c[2]

24[2]+32[2]=c[2]

576+1024=c[2]

$\sqrt{1600}$=40
