Question

The Frostburg-Truth bus travels on a straight road from Frostburg Mall to Sojourner Truth Park. The mall is 3 miles west and 2 miles south of the City Center. The park is 4 miles east and 5 miles north of the Center. How far is it from the mall to the park to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Answer 1

Hey, I once applied for a job in Frostburg, MD!

How far West to East?? 3 miles West and 4 miles East. 7 total miles.
How far North to South?? 2 miles South and 5 miles North. 7 total miles.

You have a Pythagorean Theorem in your future! \(7^{2} + 7^{2} = Distance^{2}\)

One for free, just because I like Frostburg!. You finish up and show us what you get.
