█ Explanation █

✦ Find the square of the hypotenuse. Let 'd' stand for the distance.
✦ [tex] 53^{2} = 28^{2} + d^{2} [/tex]
✦ [tex] 53^{2} - 28^{2} = d^{2} [/tex]
✦ Solve for the difference.
✦ [tex](53+28)(53-28)= d^{2} [/tex]
✦ [tex]81*25= d^{2} [/tex]
✦ [tex] d^{2} = 2025[/tex]
✦ [tex]d= \sqrt{2025} = 45 miles[/tex]

Answer: The car traveled 45 miles east.
