To walk to her friend's house, Cristal normally walks 63 yards north and 16 yards east as shown. How many yards shorter would it be if Julie took the diagonal shortcut, x?
16 yd
63 yd

65 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of this walking path of Cristal is missing, so i have attached it.

From the image attached, we can see that the path "x" is the hypotenuse path a the triangle.

Thus, we can use pythagoras theorem to find the area. Thus;

x² = 16² + 63²

x = √(16² + 63²)

x = √4225

x = 65 yd
