the park department rents canoes at docks near each entrance to the park. to the nearest meter, how far is it from one dock to the other?

a.) 207 m

b.) 142 m

c.) 160 m

d.) 63 m

142m

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by simply using the pythagorean theorem, as you stated at the beginning of the problem, which is:

You are given the a side and b side that are needed for this equation, so it's all a matter of plugging in the information you have:

Now, because the c is still squared, you must take the square root of 20200 in order to get the length of just side c:

≈142m
