Trina and Seth walk 3 miles south and 5 miles east to get from their canoe to their tent. If a walkway existed between the canoe and tent, how far would they then haveto walk? Round to the nearest mile. (PLEASE SHOW WORK!!)

Answer:
6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle is as follows,
[tex]\sqrt{a^{2} } +b^{2}[/tex]
The line is supposed to be longer on the rooting but it won't go any longer so we just have to make do.
Anyways, a is 1 side length and b is the other. Doesn't matter which one you make b or a.
Now you just plug in and solve
[tex]\sqrt{9} +25[/tex] (that's after you square it)
add them
[tex]\sqrt{34}[/tex]
simplify
5.83095189485
you can just stop at the hundredths place
5.83
You can estimate that it's about 6
and 6 is your answer
