A Boat Is 8km North And 15km West Of Its Starting Point.How Far Is The Boat From Its Starting Point

A boat is 8km north and 15km west Of its starting point.how far is the boat from its starting point

Answer:

17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the boat goes 8 km north and 15 km west and we are finding for the distance from its starting point. Therefore, it will create a triangle with legs 8 and 15 cm and hypotenuse of c cm.

Using pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c² where a and b are legs while c is the hypotenuse.

Given a and b are 8 and 15, respectively. We are solving for c:

(8)² + (15)² = c²

64 + 225 = c²

269 = c²

c = 17 cm

Hope this helps!
