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.
What have you got so far for this question?
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.

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
