On the school playground, the slide is 8 meters due west of the tire swing and 2 meters due south of the monkey bars. What is the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.​

 It would be 12 meters :)

Explanation: You woulde use Pythagorus theorum which is a2 + b2 = c2 because the slide, tire swing and monkey bard create a triangle.

15x15 = 225

9x9 = 81

225-81 = 144

Square root of 144 = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation: The 3 playground pieces of equipment, T(ire swing), S(lide) and M(onkey bars) form a right triangle.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to fing the hypotenuse, which is the distance between T and M.

42 + 72 = 65 = H2

H = 651/2 = 8.062m
