Question

On a map’s coordinate grid, Panthersville is located at (−3, 2), and Heel City is located at (4, 8). Falconton is the midpoint between Panthersville and Heel City. What is the approximate distance from Panthersville to Falconton? (Each unit on the grid represents 1 mile.) A. 3.25 miles B. 4.61 miles C. 5.00 miles D. 9.22 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 4.61 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint is (-3+4)/2, (2+8)/2 = (1/2, 5)

distance = √(-3-1/2)² + (2 - 5)² = 4.609772299
