Word problem

If im standing somewhere looking at my gps and a store i like is 6 mi away and another one 8 mi away, how far are they from each other

Kendra F.

It depends on the direction (North, South, East. West) the stores are located from your GPS location.
 
If one is North of you and the other is South, you add the miles. If one is North and one is East, form a right triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance.
