Answer:

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given forms a right angled triangle ; hence, we can use Pythagoras rule to solve for the distance, x

Recall:

Hypotenus = sqrt(opposite ² + adjacent ²)

Hypotenus = x

Therefore,

x = sqrt(6² + 8²)

x = sqrt(36 + 64)

x = sqrt(100)

x = 10

Distance between tween my friends house and my house = 10 miles
