Answers for sheet # 9

1) Using Pythagorean Theorem

distance x distance = (90 x 90) + (90 x 90)

distance x distance = 8100 + 8100

distance x distance = 16200

distance = 127.27 feet

2) Same as above.

3) Right angle triangle will be formed.

distance x distance = (45 x 45) + (90 x 90)
distance x distance = 2025 + 8100
diistance x distance = 10125
distance = 100.62 feet
