A pirate starts at point A, takes 54 paces due west, turns and takes 34 paces due south, then turns again and takes 12 paces due East to find a buried treasure. How many paces from the buried treasure is point A?
2 answers
p^2 = (54 - 12)^2 + 34^2
X = -54 + 12 = -42 paces.
Y = -34 paces.
d^2 = x^2 + y^2 = (-42)^2 + (-34)^2 =
d = ?
Y = -34 paces.
d^2 = x^2 + y^2 = (-42)^2 + (-34)^2 =
d = ?
