Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

[tex]D = \sqrt{(d_{m})^2+(d_{w})^2}[/tex]

Where, [tex]d_{m}[/tex] =distance of Machmer Hall

[tex]d_{w}[/tex] =distance of Witless

Put the value into the formula

[tex]D = \sqrt{(400)^2+(180)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=438.63\ m[/tex]

Hence, The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.
