Question

PLESE HELP NOW BIG TEST! Margarite leaves her home to run several errands. Her house, the supermarket, the municipal building, and the post office are represented on a coordinate grid with the following locations: Margarite's house is at (−5, 3) . The supermarket is at ​​ (2, 3) . The municipal building is at (2,−2) . The post office is at (−5,−2) . Margarite drives from her home to the supermarket, then to the municipal building, then to the post office, and then back home. The paths from one location to another are straight lines. Each unit on the coordinate grid represents 1 mile. What is the total distance Margarite has traveled?

Answer 1

She would have traveled 24 miles since from the house to the supermarket is 7 miles then from the supermarket to the municipal building is 5 miles then back 7 miles and then 5 miles. If you add all of that together then you will get 24 miles.
