Two Objects Leave From Point B At A Right Angle After Ten Seconds Object A Has Moved 12 Meters And Object C Has Moved 5 Meters What Is The Distance Between Poin class=

Sagot :

In order to calculate the distance between A and C, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, since we have a right triangle:

[tex]\begin{gathered} AC^2=12^2+5^2 \\ AC^2=144+25 \\ AC^2=169 \\ AC=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the distance between A and C is 13 meters.
