Distance and the pythagorean theorem practice
Fins the length between landmark B and F. Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary
To find the length between landmark B and F, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's assume that B and F are points on a coordinate plane, where the x-coordinate of B is 5 and the y-coordinate of F is 4.
Using the formula, c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides of a right triangle, we can calculate the length between B and F as follows:
Length = √((b_x - a_x)^2 + (b_y - a_y)^2)
Length = √((5 - 0)^2 + (4 - 0)^2)
Length = √(5^2 + 4^2)
Length = √(25 + 16)
Length = √41
Length ≈ 6.40 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the length between landmark B and F is approximately 6.40 units.
