Mr. Martinez's limo drove 15 miles south to Candy Land for some delicious gumdrops, then 5 miles east to Chuck E. Cheese for some scrumptious pizza. How far is Mr. Martinez from his starting point? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

15.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance driven south = 15 miles

Distance driven east = 5 miles

How far is Mr. Martinez from his starting point?

Using Pythagoras :

Distance from starting point(d) :

d = √(15)² + (5)²

d = √225 + 25

d = √250

d = 15.811388

d = 15.8 miles

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area
