20. the map below shows 2 different routes ms. bentsen can take to dry airport 25 mi oak road 65 mi airport road mountain highway ms. bentsen's house how many miles could ms. bentsen save by traveling on airport road instead of mountain highway and oak road to get to the airport? a. 20 mi b. 25 mi c. 60 mi 35

Using the Pythagorean theorem find  the length of Mountain Highway.

25^2 + x^2 = 65^2

625 + x^2 = 4225

x^2 = 4225 - 625

x^2 = 3600

x = √3600

x = 60 miles.

The total distance for Mountain highway and Oak road = 60 + 25 = 85 miles.

Airport road is shorter by 85 - 65 = 20 miles

The answer is A.
