An aircraft flies a triangular search pattern: 100 km North, then 100 km East, then flies straight back to the starting point. What is the total perimeter distance flown in kilometers? (Take sqrt(2) ≈ 1.414, round to one decimal place).

Answer Key:
341.4

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

### Solution: Hypotenuse = sqrt(100^2 + 100^2) = 100 * sqrt(2) ≈ 141.4 km. Total distance = 100 + 100 + 141.4 = 341.4 km. Correct: 341.4 (range 341.0 to 342.0).
