Jaron walked 15 blocks north and then 3 blocks west to school. Marisol walked 3 blocks east and then 15 blocks south to school. Write an expression to show that each traveled the same distance.

sqrt(15² + 3²) = sqrt(15² + 3²)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras:

15 blocks North = 15 blocks south (direction opposite to each other)

3 blocks west = 3 blocks east (directions opposite to each other)

Hence distance traveled (d) :

JARON

D = sqrt(15² + 3²)

MARISOL:

D = sqrt(15² + 3²)

Hence ;

sqrt(15² + 3²) = sqrt(15² + 3²)

Two possibilities are:

4 quarters and 4 dimes

1 dollar coin 4 nickles 2 dimes
