Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for this.
[tex]c=\sqrt[\square]{a^2+b^2}[/tex]Given:
Jada's track:
a = 12 blocks
b = 5 blocks
Required:
No. of blocks Jordan walked, c = ?
Solution:
[tex]\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[\square]{a^2+b^2} \\ c=\sqrt[\square]{12^2+5^2} \\ c=\sqrt[\square]{144+25} \\ c=\sqrt[\square]{169} \\ c=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: Jordan walked 13 bocks
