To get to Green Thumb Floral Shop from her house, Jody must walk 7 blocks east and then 4 blocks south. What is the actual distance between Jody's house and the floral shop?
i dont think this post belongs here but anyways..
do you know what the pythagorean Theorem is?
it only works for right triangle
the forumla is A^2 + B^2 = C^2
A and B are the sides of the triangle
C is the hypotenuse, longest side of the triangle
if you map out how jody walks. 7 east and 4 south and then draw the distance between jody house and shop (hypotenuse). you have a right triangle, which you can use the pythagorean thorem..
7^2 + 4^2 = C^2
49 + 16 = C^2
65=C^2
= C
