Question

Jane wants to determine the shortest route from her home to her workplace.

Answer 1

Answer:

did anyone figure this out

Answer 2

Answer:

15 blocks I think

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step would be to move forward three blocks north. Next you would take a sharp angle to the northeast for a total of 3.6 blocks. We found this number treating the angle as the hypotenuse of a triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem: A^2 + B^2 = C^2. By this logic we can find that 6^2 + 3^2 = C^2 or 45. Then you must find the square root of 45 in order to discover what the distance of C was. Later, after moving two more blocks to the north and to the east, we must use the Pythagorean theorem again to calculate the distance of the next angle. This is a total of 6.7 blocks. After adding all these values together you get a total of 15.3 blocks that Jane has to walk to get to work.  

(I am unsure if this is the correct way to solve the problem. This is how I found this answer tho and it told me I was correct. Good luck ;))
