There is a zombie apocalypse, and Rick and Daryll decide to go zombie
hunting. They begin by walking 100 yards north from their base then they
hear something to the right. They make a 90° turn to the right and walk
another 100 yards. How far are they from their starting point?

Answer 1

Answer: 100•square root of 2

Step-by-step explanation: When Rick and Daryll are walking in this pattern, they are creating a right triangle. So you can use the pythagorean theorem to find out what the missing side is (the distance from the start) which matches up with 100 times the square root of 2.
