What is pythagoraean theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

Here Samantha is travelling in a right-angled triangular path so the distance between Samantha's school and her friend's home will be calculated as:-

H² = P²+B²

(30)² = x²+(18)²

x²= 900-324=576

x=√576

x=24 KM

Hence the distance travelled by Samantha from her friend's home to school will be 24 KM
