Question

On a​ zip-line course, you are harnessed to a cable that travels through the treetops. You start at platform A and zip to each of the other platforms. How far do you travel from Platform B to Platform​ C? (Please add the EXPLANATION)

Answer 1

Answer:

22.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the distance and stuff I don't really know sorry

Answer 2

Answer:

We have to travel 26.93 units from platform B to C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a segment having coordinates $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is determined by the formula,

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of the points B and C are (-25, -20) and (-15, 5) respectively.

Distance between these points B and C Or length of BC will be,

BC = $\sqrt{(-25+15)^2+(-20-5)^2}$

     = $\sqrt{100+625}$

     = $\sqrt{725}$

     = $5\sqrt{29}$

     = 26.93 units

Therefore, we have to travel 26.93 units from platform B to C.
