The midpoint, where the rest area is, will just be the average of the coordinates of Springfield and Columbus.
Rest Area=((1+7)/2, (-4+1)/2)
Rest Area=(4, -1.5)
The distance between the two cities can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem, which used in the manner is often referred to as the "distance" formula between two points.
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)
d^2=(7-1)^2+(1--4)^2
d^2=36+25
d^2=61
d=√61 and we are told that each unit is equal to 5.38mi so the distance from Springfield to Columbus is:
D=5.38√61 mi
D≈42.02mi (to nearest hundredth of a mile)
Step-by-step explanation:
Both A and C are used within this problem. Distributing happens in the first and second step. Also, Inverse operations are used in nearly every step that is solving.
Answer:
=
Step-by-step explanation:
Equal too, you are finding the absolute value of both of them which means getting rid of any signs that is attached to them. 60 = 60
