Question

NEED A LIFESAVER!!

Answer 1

The commuter airline serves the four cities of Ashton, Brady, Colfax, and Dumas, located at points A, B, C, and D, respectively. The solid lines in the figure show the airline’s existing routes. The airline is building an airport at H, which will serve as a hub. This will add four new routes to their schedule: AH, BH, CH, and DH.

Currently, travelers who want to go from Ashton to Colfax must first fly to Brady. After the airport is built, they will fly from Ashton to the new airport and then to Colfax. How many miles, to the nearest tenth of a mile, will this save compared to the distance of the current trip?
