Evan is going for a walk in Central Park. He starts at the Southern end of the park and walk 3 miles North. He then turns to the right and walks 2 miles east. What is that shortest distance he can walk to get back where he started?

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

3^2 + 2^2 = c^2

9 + 4 = 13

3.6 miles = c
