Hey there! :)

Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the diagonal side, we can simply visualize the sides of the rectangle as sides of a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c²), where:

a = length of short leg

b = length of long leg

c = length of the diagonal

Solve:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 6² + 8²

c² = 36 + 64

c² = 100

c = 10 miles. This is the length of the pedestrian route.

Answer:

10 miles

Solution,

Hypotenuse (h) = R

Perpendicular (p) = 8 miles

Base (b) = 6 miles

Now,

Using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex] {h}^{2} = {p}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]

Plugging the values:

[tex] {r}^{2} = {(8)}^{2} + {(6)}^{2} [/tex]

Calculate:

[tex] {r}^{2} = 64 + 36[/tex]

[tex] {r}^{2} = 100[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{100} [/tex]

[tex]r = 10 \: miles[/tex]

Length of route = 10 miles

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
