Question

a glider flies 8 miles south then 15 miles east then flies in a straight line back to the airport. what was the distance of the gliders last leg back to the air port
Ms. Sue
Use the Pythagorean Theorem as I showed you in your last postr.
so 8^2 + 15^ = k^2
64 + 225 = k^2
289 = k^2
17 = k

Ms. Sue
Right!
