Answer:
D. 130 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
bob walks from his school 50 feet north and then walls 120 feet east. what is the shortest distance bob is from the school
A 170ft
B 165 ft
C 70 ft
D130 ft
Bob in his path forms a right angle, so the shortest distance for the school is the hypotenuse, and we solve it with the Pythagorean theorem.
√(120²+50²) =
√(14400 + 2500) =
√16900 =
130 ft
