Answer: 19 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between the hiker and the camp) and a and b are the other sides.
Replacing with the values given:
x^2 = 6^2 + 18^2
x^2 = 36+324
x^2 = 360
x = √360
x = 18.97miles = 19 miles
