If alberto's school is 3 miles due south of his house and 4 miles due west of jimmy's house, what is the straight line distance between alberto's house and jimmy's house?

Hi.

I take this as a word problem for the Pythagorean theorem.

So, we need to square the 3 & 4. We're gonna add them once that's done, and square root the answer.

9 + 16 = 25

The square root of 25 is 5.

The straight line distance is 5 miles.

29. because you will divide each number of months by 12 to find the number of years. which would mean, 5, 12.5, 16, 45, 50, 72.5. which is crazy. anyhow, i think you find the median in the middle. and yea hope your test goes good
