Answer:
The estimated distance is 8.1cm.
The actual distance is 8.106cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the Pythogorean Theorem, c² = a² + b². Then substitute the following values into the formula :
[tex] {c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]
Let a = 5.1cm,
Let b = 6.3cm,
[tex] {c}^{2} = {5.1}^{2} + {6.3}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = 26.01 + 39.69[/tex]
[tex] {c}^{2} = 65.7[/tex]
[tex]c = \sqrt{65.7} [/tex]
[tex]c = 8.106cm \: (3d.p)[/tex]
