Question

PLEASEEEEEE HELP MEEEEE 100 points!!!!!!!!!!!! The map shows the location of a mall, library, and school in a city: Coordinate grid shown from negative 12 to positive 12 on x axis at intervals of 2, and negative 12 to positive 12 on y axis at intervals of 2. A triangle is shown with vertices labeled Library, Mall, and School. Library is the ordered pair negative 10, 10 , Mall is the ordered pair 10, 10, and School is the ordered pair 10 and negative 11. Sarah traveled from the school to the mall and then from the mall to the library. Bret traveled from the school to the library. How many miles did Sarah and Bret travel altogether? (1 point) Select one: a. 12 miles b. 29 miles c. 41 miles d. 70 miles

Answer 1

Sarah: School to mall = 21

           mall to library = 20

Total distance for Sarah = 20 + 21 = 41 miles.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance Bret traveled:

Distance = SQRT(21^2 + 20^2)

              = sqrt(441 + 400)

              = sqrt(841)

              = 29 miles

Total distance  = 41 + 29 = 70 miles

Answer is D. 70 miles.
