Lanberry is 8.7 miles far from the airport.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Distance of Cedarburg from airport = 5 miles
Distance of Cadarburg and Lanberry = 10 miles
It will form a right angles triangle where one leg will be 5 miles and hypotenuse will be 10 miles.
Distance of Lanberry from airport = b
Using pythagorean theorem;
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\(5)^2+b^2=(10)^2\\25+b^2=100\\b^2=100-25\\b^2=75[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides
[tex]\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{75}\\b=8.66[/tex]
Rounding to nearest tenth
b = 8.7 miles
Lanberry is 8.7 miles far from the airport.
