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.
