Jane and Miguel are siblings. They go to different schools. Jane Walks 6 blocks east from home. Miguel walks 8 blocks north. How many blocks apart would the two schools be if you could walk straight from one school to the other?

There would be 14 miles between the two schools 

The distance between two schools if I walk straight from one school to another will be 10 blocks as per right-angle triangle.

What is a right-angle triangle?

A right-angle triangle is a triangle that consists of a right-angle. Three side of a right-angle triangle are base, height, and hypotenuse.

Here, two arms of the right-angle are base and height. The largest arm of this triangle is hypotenuse.

The relation between these three sides is:

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

Jane walks 6 blocks east from home. Miguel walks 8 blocks north.

Therefore, they are as if walking through the base and height of a right-angle triangle respectively.

Now, the distance between two schools if I walk straight from one school to another will be the hypotenuse of the right-angle triangle.

Here,  the distance between two schools

= √(6² + 8²) blocks

= √100 blocks

= 10 blocks    (distance can't be negative)
