I'll use one for an example

Let's say that School, Flower shop, and bank are a triangle (which they are)

The distance from the bank to the flower shop, which is "a" in the pythagorean theorem, is 25

The distance from the bank to the school, which is b in the theorem, is 30.

That means the distance from the school to the flower shop squared is 30^2 + 25^2.

Square rooting that will give you your answer.

sqrt(30^2 + 25^2)

Do that for all other 7 questions

ok how about question 8 im stuck on it

[cyan badger]

If School to Post Office is 75, and post office to church is 15, what is school to church?

Then do the same thing you did with school -> gas station

[faint relic]

but how

can you explain it to me

[cyan badger]

Which part?

[faint relic]

btw for the first one i got 39.1

[faint relic]

like what i should do to solve it

[cyan badger]

For school -> gas station, you do the pythag theorem but reversed

[faint relic]

really?

[cyan badger]

Let's use the school -> Gas station

(School to Gas station)^2 + (Gas station to Post Office)^2 = (School to Post Office)^2

We know what gas station to post office is and what school to post office is

(school to gas station)^2 + 25^2 = 75^2, as we replace gas station to post office and school to post office

So school to gas station is sqrt(75^2 - 25^2)

You can apply that formula to school to church

[faint relic]

ok i got 70.7

[cyan badger]

Now do the same thing for school->fire station

(school to fire station)^2 + (fire station to church)^2 = (school to church)^2

[faint relic]

yeah im stuck

[cyan badger]

So let's pretend school to fire station is "x". I'll write that because its difficult to write the entire thing

The fire station to church is 30 yards

The school to church is equal to the school -> post office + post office -> church

That means school -> church is 75 + 15

x^2 + 30^2 = 90^2, as 75 + 15 = 90

x^2 + 900 = 8100

Tell me if you need more help
