Answer 1

Answer:

15 km is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Draw a triangle with 12 for x direction and 9 for y direction

The distance is the connecting line which is the hypotenuse

12^2 + 9^2 = c^2

144+81 = c^2

225 = c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = sqrt(c^2)

15 =c
