Respuesta :

the horizontal distance ( x direction) from A to C is 7 units and

the vertical distance ( y direction) is 5 units

Applying Pythagoras' Theorem to the right triangle

AC² = 7² + 5² = 49 + 25 = 74, hence

AC = [tex]\sqrt{74}[/tex] = 8.6 units ( to 1 dec. place )



Hi!

distance from A to the base od C, straight line = 7 units

from the base of C to the point C, straght line = 5 units

[tex]AC^{2} = 7^{2} + 5^{2} \\AC^{2} = 49 + 25\\AC^{2} = 74\\AC = \sqrt{74}\\AC = 8,6[/tex]

Hope this helps!
