Question

Use the map shown below to find the distance between cities A and B to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance is 4.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We could find the distance with the formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1} )^{2} }$

From the graph, we see that points have these coordinates:

$A(0;0)\\B(-2;4)$

Where A is the first point $(x_{1};y_{1} )$ and B is the second point $(x_{2} y_{2})$

Replacing these coordinates, we have:

$d=\sqrt{(-2}-0)^{2} +(4-0)^{2} }$

$d=\sqrt{4+16}$

$d=\sqrt{20} \approx 4.5$

Therefore, the distance is 4.5 units.

Answer 2

i believe the answer is 4.47, hope this helps
