Asked by Lucy

A surveyor sets a stake and then walks 150 feet north, where she sets a second stake. She then walks 300 feet east and sets a third stake. How far from the first stake is the third stake? Round to the nearest tenth.

Thanks for your help.

Are you planning to routinely post every question of your assignment.
This is the third consecutive question is a row without you showing any effort in doing these.

This is a right triangle. Therefore the Pythagorean Law
applies. 150^2+300^2= Distance^2
22500+90000=D^2
112500=D^2
335.41=D
Rounded to the nearest tenth, D=335.4 feet
