Question

reynaldo rode his bike 2 miles north and 3 miles east. which equation should he use to find the distance, d, that takes him directly back home?

\\(2^2 + 3^2 = d^2\\)
\\(3^2 - 2^2 = d^2\\)
\\(d^2 + 2^2 = 3^2\\)
\\(d^2 + 3^2 = 2^2\\)

Explanation:

Identify the given side lengths and hypotenuse

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Apply the Pythagorean theorem

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(2^2 + 3^2 = d^2\) (Correct answer)
  • (B) \(3^2 - 2^2 = d^2\)
  • (C) \(d^2 + 2^2 = 3^2\)
  • (D) \(d^2 + 3^2 = 2^2\)
