You start driving north for 27 miles, turn right, and drive east for
another 36 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight line
distance from your starting point?

Using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = square root(a^2 + b^2)

c = square root(27^2 + 36^2)

c = square root(729 + 1296)

c = square root(2025)

c= 45

Straight Line Distance = 45 miles

32

step-by-step explanation:

m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠1   is true.

m∠5 + m∠6 = 180 is true

m∠2 +m∠3 = m∠6   is true

m∠2 +m∠3 +m∠5 = 180   is true
