Answer:
5000 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure .
AC is the distance of hulk from home
Since ΔABC is right angled triangle. we will use pythagorus theorem.
[tex]Hypotenuse^{2} =Perpendicular^{2} +Base^{2}[/tex]
Hypotenuse = AC
Perpendicular = AB=6 blocks
Base = BC = 8 blocks
⇒[tex]AC^{2} =AB^{2} +BC^{2}[/tex]
⇒[tex]AC^{2} =6^{2} +8^{2}[/tex]
⇒[tex]AC^{2} =36+64[/tex]
⇒[tex]AC^{2} =100[/tex]
⇒[tex]AC =\sqrt{100}[/tex]
⇒[tex]AC =10[/tex]
Thus AC = 10 blocks .
Since we are given each block is 500 ft.
Thus 10 blocks = 500*10=5000ft.
Hence hulk is 5000 ft away from the home
