Two people meet in the purple room on the fourth floor of a building. On departure, one person travels West 20 feet, South 12 feet, and Down 12 feet. The other person travels North 20 feet, East 10 feet, and Up 12 feet. How far apart are the two people? Round to the nearest tenth.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

54.864 meters

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
