Question

On a coordinate grid, a park is located at (3,0) and the pool is located at (-3,3). If the tennis courts are the midpoint between the park and the pool, what is the approximate distance from the pool to the tennis courts? (Note: 1 unit equals 1 mile)

Answer 1

Distance formula: sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1))
x1,y1=3,0
x2,y2=-3,3
so sqrt((-3-3)^2+(3-0)^2)
sqrt((-6)^2+(3)^2)
sqrt(36+9)
sqrt(45)=6.708 miles from the park to the pool.
6.708/2 (because the tennis courts are the midpoint, which is halfway)
= 3.354 miles
