 B. about 50 miles  
 
 C. about 8 miles  
 
 D. about 40 miles

anonymous · Answer

What does that mean @helplesspenguin ?

anonymous · Answer

The points are Oceanfront (3,-2) and Seaside (-2,4)

The distance between the points is 
Distance = $$\sqrt{(-2-3)^{2} + (4-(-2))^{2} }$$

$$\sqrt{25+36}$$

= sqrt of 61
 that is roughly 8,

Each mile is 5 units
so answer is approx 40 miles

Thank you so much, I was having a really hard time trying to get the points in the formula right. But I got the same answer. Thanks! :)
