Answer:

c=5.9/6(G)

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the 2 distances.

a^2+b^2=c^2                    c=2.4+.7              

7^2+2.4^2=c^2                  c=3.1

.49+5.85=c^2                    

c^2=6.34

c=√6.34

c=2.51.

next subtract the two distances to find the difference.

c=2.51-3.1

c=.59

so the distance would be .59 which can be rounded up to .60/G
