d = NB + BC + CN.
d = 2 + sqrt(6.3^2+2^2) + 6.3.
d = 2 + 6.6 + 6.3 = 14.9 Ft.
So Noah covered a distance(d) equal to the perimeter of a rt. triangle:
a = 2 Ft.
b = 6.3 Ft.
c = 6.6 Ft.
P = a + b + c = 14.9 Ft.
d = 2 + sqrt(6.3^2+2^2) + 6.3.
d = 2 + 6.6 + 6.3 = 14.9 Ft.
So Noah covered a distance(d) equal to the perimeter of a rt. triangle:
a = 2 Ft.
b = 6.3 Ft.
c = 6.6 Ft.
P = a + b + c = 14.9 Ft.
