Given:
the slide is 7 feet due west of the tire swing and 7 feet due south of the monkey bars.
As we know east and west are perpendiculars
So, the distance will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 7 feet
So, using the Pythagorean theorem
The distance = d, will be calculated as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d^2=7^2+7^2=2\cdot7^2 \\ \\ d=\sqrt[]{2\cdot7^2}=7\sqrt[]{2}\approx9.899 \end{gathered}[/tex]Rounding to the nearest tenth
so, the answer will be distance = 9.9 feet
