## Step 1This problem involves the application of the Pythagorean theorem, which is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.## Step 2In this scenario, Hasan's journey forms a right-angled triangle. The two legs of the triangle are the distances he walks west and south, which are 0.5 miles and 0.3 miles respectively. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the direct distance from the bus terminal to the convention center, which we are trying to find.## Step 3We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. The formula is:### where and are the lengths of the two legs of the triangle, and is the length of the hypotenuse.## Step 4Substitute the given values into the formula:### \(c = \sqrt{(0.5)^2 + (0.3)^2}\)## Step 5Calculate the square of 0.5 and 0.3, add them together, and then take the square root of the result.## Step 6Round the result to the nearest hundredth as instructed.
