Answer: The estimate is closest to the distance d is 4.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given image, we can see that there is a right triangle, in which d is the side opposite to the right angle (largest angle in the triangle) which means its the longest side of the triangle.
[Since side opposite to the larger angle is larger]
Therefore, by Pythagoras Theorem we have
[tex]d^2=(3.6)^2+(2.2)^2\\\Rightarrow\ d^2=12.96+4.84\\\Rightarrow\ d^2=17.8\\\Rightarrow\ d=\sqrt{17.8}\\\Rightarrow\ d=4.2190\approx4.2[/tex]
The estimate is closest to the distance d is 4.2 miles.
