You start driving west for 3 miles, turn right, and drive north fer another 13 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight line distance from your starting point?
Round to the nearest tenth of a mile.

13.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So you're driving < for 3 miles

Then you start driving up for 13 miles

This makes a right triangle with sides of 3 and 13

using pathagoreas, a^2+b^2=c^2

3^2+13^2=c^2

9+169=c^2

178=c^2

Square root both sides

c= 13.3416640641

Rounding, it's 13.3 miles
