You and your friend are trying to meet up at the park. You are currently 256 m directly west from the centre of the park. Your friend is currently 388 m directly north from the centre of the park. What is the distance between you and your friend?

The distance between the two is 465 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to set up a triangle that shows the relative position and distances of the two friends

Please check attachment for this

To get this distance, which represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, we make use of Pythagoras’ theorem

Mathematically;

Pythagoras’ theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus;

D^2 = 256^2 + 388^2

D^2 = 216,080

D = √216,080

D = 464.84 which is approximately 465 m

step-by-step explanation:

c.

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.
