Kassy is traveling to Peru for her summer vacation. She looks at a map of the path of her flight. Her plane leaves from Texas, l
ocated at(5, 16) on the map’s coordinate grid, and then heads to its destination, Peru, located at(7, 8) on the map’s coordinate grid. Find the distance of Kassy's trip according to her map. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Use the mid point formula to find the answer. Add the first x value to the second and divide by two for your x midpoint, then add the first y value to the second y value and divide by two for your y midpoint.
Multiply the denominator (5) and the numerator (3) by 20. Both sides multiplied equals 60 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator. After the conversions to a decimal, your answer should be 0.60 since 60/100=0.60.
