Question

About how many fewer meters does Candace walk if she walks through the park instead of using the sidewalk?

Answer 1

Solution

If Candace walk the sideways

$\begin{gathered} distance=20+40 \\ \\ distance=60 \end{gathered}$

If Candace walks through the park

$\begin{gathered} distance=\sqrt{20^2+40^2} \\ \\ distance=45 \end{gathered}$

The distance or meters Candace saw when he walks through the park is

$60-45=15$

Therefore, the answer is 15
