From his house, Tristan could drive due north to get to his parents' house or he could drive due east to get to his grandparents' house. It is 6 miles from Tristan's house to his parents' house and a straight-line distance of 6.4 miles from his parents' house to his grandparents' house. How far is Tristan from his grandparents' house? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Tristan's house with T, his grandparent's with G and his parents with P.

Such that:

Find TG

To solve this, we make use of Pythagoras Theorem which is represented as:

Substitute values for GP and TP

--- Approximated

Hence, the distance between Tristan ans his grandparent's house is 2.2 miles

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
