Answer:
9.7 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line
The distance from point A to point B is
d = sqrt( ( x2-x1)^2 + ( y2-y1) ^2)
d = sqrt( ( 3 - -3)^2 + ( 4-1) ^2)
d = sqrt( ( 6)^2 + ( 3) ^2)
d = sqrt(36+9)
d = sqrt(45)
d =6.7 to the nearest tenth
The distance from point B to point C is
d = sqrt( ( x2-x1)^2 + ( y2-y1) ^2)
d = sqrt( ( 3 - 3)^2 + ( -2-4) ^2)
d = sqrt( ( 0)^2 + ( -6) ^2)
d = sqrt(36)
d = 6
But They only made it half way so 1/2 (6) =3
Add the distances together
6.7+3 = 9.7 is the minimum distance
