We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance David needs to walk back to his car.
The distance he walked north is 32 yards, and the distance he walked east is 85 yards. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
Distance^2 = (32 yards)^2 + (85 yards)^2
Distance^2 = 1024 yards^2 + 7225 yards^2
Distance^2 = 8249 yards^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
Distance = √(8249 yards^2)
Distance ≈ 90.9 yards
Therefore, David needs to walk about 90.9 yards to get back to his car.
David runs out of gas so he gets out of his car and walks 32 yards north and 85 blocks yards east. How far is he from his car if he walked back in a straight line? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Click Here for Help Video. (1 point)David needs to walk about yards.
