To find the distance from Emma’s house to the pool using the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to understand the theorem itself. It states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
The formula is:
(c^2 = a^2 + b^2)
Assuming you have the lengths of the two sides of the triangle (let’s call them (a) and (b)), you would plug those values into the formula to find (c), which represents the distance.
1. Calculate (a^2) and (b^2).
2. Add the two results together.
3. Take the square root of that sum to find (c).
If we assume specific values for (a) and (b) as provided options lead to the answers being calculated, let me know if you have those specific values so we can solve it properly. The distances ( sqrt{56}, sqrt{62}, sqrt{74}, sqrt{85} ) are choices that could result from this process.
Please check to see if you can provide the lengths of the sides (a) and (b) for further assistance! For more in-depth help, feel free to check the extended services page.
