Question

Each unit on the map represents 1 mile. To the nearest tenth of a mile, what is the distance from the
library to the supermarket?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of library(3, 2) to the supermarket (6, 7) using distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Where,

$(3, 2) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(6, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

Plug in the values into the formula

$d = \sqrt{(6 - 3)^2 + (7 - 2)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (5)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{9 + 25}$

$d = \sqrt{34} = 5.8 miles$ (nearest tenth).
