True or false all waves need a medium in order to travel

No light does not need medium to travel.Its an electromagnetic(EM) wave.All EM waves travel independent of medium. In contrast mechanical waves need a medium,sound waves,shock waves are mechanical and they need medium to transfer energy or travel.

Distance^2= yellow line ^2 (see picture) = 30^2 + 49^2so distance = squareroot of (300^2 +49^2)i dont know if this is how to solve it, but i cnt think of another way
