What is pythagoras theorem?
Pythagoras theorem says that in a right angled triangle the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of base and perpendicular of that triangle.
[tex]H^{2} =B^{2} +P^{2}[/tex] in which P is perpendicular, B is base, H is hypotenuse of triangle.
How to find hypotenuse?
When we express person's house,his friend's house and bank on the surface then it will look like a right angled triangle.
H=[tex]\sqrt{B^{2} +P^{2}}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{10.8^{2} +14.4^{2} }[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{324}[/tex]
=18 miles
Hence the distance of person's house from bank is 18 miles.
