A boat traveled in a straight line through calm seas until it was 28 kilometers east and 47 kilometers south of its original position. How far did the boat travel, round to the nearest tenth.
+1005 Like in a straight line?
Using pythog. thereom
sqrt(28^2 +47^2) = sqrt(2993) km
OR you add 28 to 47 if you wanted to know the distance the boat traveld, not the distance relative to the starting point.
