Fan + Medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A group of college students built a self-guided rover and tested it on a plane surface. They programmed the vehicle to move along the path A–B–C–D–A represented on the coordinate plane. What distance will the rover cover if it completes one circuit?

Can you explain how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't give you a medal unless you do

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please you have to add meausre(AB)+measure(BC)+measure(CD)+measure(DA)=...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Michele can we do it step my step like you did with my other problems

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! It's very simple, because measure(AB)=2; measure(CD)16-2=14, measure(DA)=11-2=9 as I can read from your graph. Now in order to calculate measure(BC), you have to apply Pitagora Theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a2 + b2 = c2?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that' right!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: measure(BC)= \[\sqrt{(11-2)^{2}+(16-4)^{2}}=...\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please complete!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64 + 144 = 208

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, sorry 81+144=225, so measure(BC)=15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did I do wrong

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and your circuit is 2+14+9+15=40 meters long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please I think you did wrong difference (11-9)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops sorry difference (11-2)
