Answer:

  (a)  8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the distance (in kilometers) Michelle has walked. Then Janet walked a distance of (m-2). These distances are at right angles, so the distance between them can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  m² +(m -2)² = 10²

  m² +m² -4m +4 = 100

  2m² -4m = 96 . . . . . . subtract 4, collect terms

  m² -2m +1 = 49 . . . . . divide by 2 and add 1

  (m -1)² = 7² . . . . . . .write as squares

  m -1 = 7 . . . . . . positive square root

  m = 8

Michelle walked 8 km.
