28. The Shau family is crossing Kansas on Highway 70. A sign reads "Wichita 90 miles, Topeka 110 miles." Avi says, " I didn't know that it was only 20 miles from Wichita to Topeka." Explain to Avi why the distance between the two cities doesn't have to be 20 miles. Show work/explain how you did it in order to receive a medal for your patronage! :D

The highway could curve, or just not go in a straight line, from Wichita to Topeka, so via a straight road, it could be less than 20 miles.
