Three people are sitting on a bus. Bridget is directly behind Sophia and directly left of Alan. If Sophia and Bridget are 3 feet apart, and Alan and Sophia are 9 feet apart, what is the distance between Bridget and Alan? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

kindly find attached a rough sketch of their sitting position which forms a right triangle

We can proceed by using Pythagoras therm to solve for the  distance between Bridget and Alan which is the hypotenuse

From the problem statement

A, which is the opposite is = 3 ft

B, which is the adjacent = 9 ft

C, is the hypotenuse= ?

Substituting into the expression we have

To the nearest tenth the distance is 9.48 ft
