The distance between two schools if I walk straight from one school to another will be 10 blocks as per right-angle triangle.
What is a right-angle triangle?
A right-angle triangle is a triangle that consists of a right-angle. Three side of a right-angle triangle are base, height, and hypotenuse.
Here, two arms of the right-angle are base and height. The largest arm of this triangle is hypotenuse.
The relation between these three sides is:
(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²
Jane walks 6 blocks east from home. Miguel walks 8 blocks north.
Therefore, they are as if walking through the base and height of a right-angle triangle respectively.
Now, the distance between two schools if I walk straight from one school to another will be the hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle.
Here, the distance between two schools
= √(6² + 8²) blocks
= √100 blocks
= 10 blocks (distance can't be negative)
