Answer:

To find it you need to use hypotenuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you drive 8 miles and drive east for 6 miles this make like a opposite L

So you can connect the edges of the L shape with a line (This line is the straight line from your starting point) forming a triangle.

Then by using [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

It becomes [tex]8^{2} + 6^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

And C will be equal to 10 miles.

Answer:

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If you picture it, it will be a triangle. Let’s have a= to 8 and b= to 6. Now just use Pythagoras so a^2 and b^2 = c^2

64 + 36 =100

find the root of a 100 which is 10 so it will be 10 miles
