Anita hikes 7 miles due east and then 3 miles due north. Rounded to the nearest mile, what is the shortest distance from the starting point to the ending point?

Question

A.4
B.6
C.8
D.10
Is the answer D?

Answer 3

Please help me?????

Answer 4

Yes, 8 is the answer.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

7^2 + 3^2 = c^2

49 + 9 = c^2

58 = c^2

7.6157731058639082856614110271583 = C

It's the closest to 8 when rounded to the nearest whole number or "nearest mile".

So yes, C is correct.

I hope this helps! :)
