Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle CHE is right, angle CHE is marked as right angle.
We have:
- CD= CH = 3960 mi
- DE = 240 mi
- EH = ?
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the value of EH:
- CE² = CH² + EH²
- CE = CD + DE = 3960 + 240 = 4200
Substitute known values and solve for EH
- 4200² = 3960² + EH²
- EH² = 4200² - 3960²
- EH² = 1958400
- EH = √1958400
- EH = 1399.42 ≈ 1400 mi (rounded)
