Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I used Pythagoras Theorem to find the diagonal distance as placement of objects is right angles triangle.

${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

a : Elm street

b : Birch street

c : Diagonal distance

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 15^2 + 8^2

c^2 = 225 + 64

c = √289

c = 17 blocks

I added the total distance of the original route Joline took

= 15 blocks + 8 blocks

= 23 blocks

How much less distance does she have to walk if she took the diagonal route

= Total distance of original route - distance of diagonal route

= 23 - 17

= 6 blocks

Joline have to walk less 6 blocks if she took the diagonal route compared to her original route
