Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

so if u draw his paths you get a right triangle and so u can use Pythagoras theorem with is a²+b²=c²

so it will look like

c²= 8²+6²

c²=

[tex] \sqrt{100} [/tex]

c²=10

Answer:

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

West and North directions are at right angles to each other.

This forms a right triangle with the hypotenuse being the direct distance between Kurt and Riley's houses.

Using Pythagoras identity in the right triangle with direct distance d , then

d² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100 ( take square root of both sides )

d = [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] = 10

The distance between their houses in a straight line is 10 miles
