Can these distances help you find the distance AD?

  • 1

Yes, by using the Baudhāyana-Pythagoras Theorem. The distance AD is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. AD = square root of (4 squared plus 3 squared), which equals 5 units.

  1. The horizontal and vertical distances form the two legs of a right-angled triangle, with AD as the hypotenuse. According to the Baudhāyana-Pythagoras Theorem, the square of the distance AD is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, 4 squared (16) plus 3 squared (9) equals 25. Taking the square root of 25 gives a direct distance of 5 units for AD.
