Question

PLZ HELP MEDAL WILL BE GIVEN
Each unit on the map represents 5 miles. What is the actual distance from Oceanfront to Seaside?
A)about 10 miles
B)about 50 miles
C)about 8 miles
D)about 40 miles
(see the attachment)

Answer 1

distance squared = (X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2
distance squared = (-2 - 3)^2 + (4 - -2)^2
distance squared = (-5)^2 + (6)^2
distance squared = 25 + 36
distance squared = 61
Therefore; distance = square root of 61 = 7.8 approximately
----
since each unit represents 5 miles:
distance (actual) = 7.8 * 5 = 39 miles <== Answer!
