Using pythagorean theorem to solve word problems of travel

The video tutorial explains how to determine the distance between Jennifer's and Katie's houses using a directional map and the Pythagorean theorem. It starts by setting up a diagram to visualize the problem, identifies the right triangle formed by the houses' positions, and applies the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of simplifying the result.

Describe the steps taken to draw the directional map for the houses.

What are the coordinates of Katie's house if Laura's house is 10 miles west of it?
