Christopher wants to determine how far away a helicopter is from where he is standing. He knows the helicopter is sitting on the edge of a roof of an apartment building that is 400 feet high and 1,050 feet from where he is standing.

 

Approximately how far is the helicopter from Christopher?

sqrt(400^2 + 1050^2)  = about 1123.6 ft
