Respuesta :

Answer:

36 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll need to use the Pythagorean Theorem for this question

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2[/tex]

So it gives us one leg & the hypotenuse. We plug these in & solve for the missing variable.

[tex]45^2 = 27^2 + b^2[/tex]

[tex]2025 - 729 = b^2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{1296} = b\\36 = b[/tex]
