You start driving north for 60 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 32 miles. How many miles must you travel to return directly back to your starting point?
using pythagorean theory
the formula is a squared + b squared = c squared. we know a = 60 and c = 32 square 60 it will be 3,600 and 32 will be 1,024 b= 3,600 - 1,024 b = 2,576 squared or 50.76
