Two horses are ready to return to their barn after a long workout session at the track. the horses are at coordinates H(1,10) an

d Z(10,1). Their barns are located in the same building, which is at coordinates B(-3,-9). Each unit/grid on the coordinate plane represents 100 meters. Which horse is closer to the barn? Justify your answer?

The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.

Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B  = 19.4165

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters


Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B  = 16.4012

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters

Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

  • <em>Blue car:</em>

<em>Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline</em>

  • <em>Red car:</em>

<em>Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline</em>

<em />

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

  • Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

  • Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline
