Each gridline represents one mile. If Ryan drove from home to the soccer field and then from the soccer field to the library, traveling in a straight line to each destination, he would have traveled ___ miles by the time he reached the library.


Please Help Me With This I Really Need It Thank You Each Gridline Represents One Mile If Ryan Drove From Home To The Soccer Field And Then From The Soccer Field class=

Sagot :

13 miles

The soccer field is 5 miles from home in a straight line (=sr(3^2 + 4^2))
Plus the 8 miles to the library

Answer:

13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance from the soccer field to the library is 8 miles

the distance between home and soccer field is a hypotenuse, use Pythagorean theorem to find the distance.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\4^2+3^2=c^2\\\\16+9=c^2\\\\c^2=25\\\\c=5[/tex]

the distance is 5 miles

5 + 8 = 13 miles total
