Question

On a map's coordinate grid, Panthersville is located at (-3, 2) and Heel City is located at (5, 8). The distance from Panthersville to Falconton is half the distance from Panthersville to Heel City. What is the approximate distance from Panthersville to Falconville? (One map unit equals one mile).

a. 3.25 miles
b. 4.61 miles
c. 5 miles
d. 9.22 miles

Answer 1

\[d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}\]

Answer 2

that's the distance formula

Answer 3

your second x is 5, your first is -3

Answer 4

and my second y is 7, and my first y is 2 .... right?

Answer 5

sqrt[(8-2)^2 + (5--3)^2] = sqrt84 = distance of P to H.
required distance = sqrt84/2 = 4.59

b.
