Question

On a zip-line course, you are harnessed to a
cable that travels through the treetops. You
start at platform A and zip to each of the other
platforms. How far do you travel from Platform
B to Platform C?

Answer 1

We travel 32.0156 units from platform B to platform C.

The distance formula is used to find the distance between any two points on the coordinate plane. If the points are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the distance formula is given as:

d = √{ (x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂)² }.

In the question, we are asked for the distance traveled from platform B to platform C.

The coordinates of B are (-35, -15).

The coordinates of C are (-15, 10).

Applying the distance formula, we get:

d = √{ (-35 - (-15))² + (-15 - 10)² },

or, d = √{ (-20)²+ (-25)² },

or, d = √{400 + 625},

or, d = √1025,

or, d = 32.0156.

Thus, we travel 32.0156 units from platform B to platform C.
