Q:

Wesley sailed his boat north for 18 miles then due east for another 18 miles approximately how far is Wesley from where he began

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Wesley is approximately 25.46 miles far from where he beganStep-by-step explanation:Distance by which the boat is sailed in North = 18 milesDistance by which the boat is sailed east = 18 miles.So, The distance traveled by him is in the form of right angled and to find the distance between  finial and initial position, we need to calculate the hypotenuse side.⇒ Hypotenuse² = 18² + 18²                            = 324 + 324 = 25.46 miles.Hence, Wesley is approximately 25.46 miles far from where he began
