Tyra ls calculating the distance from town A to town C. she is given that the distance from town A to town B is 120 miles. that the distance from town B to town C is 230 miles, that town B is due south of town A. and that town C Is due east of town B. She calculates that the distance from town A to town C is 259. 4224 miles. Should Tyra leave her answer like that? Why or why not? It not, what answer should she give? Explain. (You may assume that Tyra has calculated correctly.
