Question

Three trees are planted. The direct distance from tree A to tree B is 200 feet. The direct distance from tree B to tree C is 300 feet. Which of the choices could be the direct distance from tree A to tree C?

Answer 1

500ft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

500ft

Step-by-step explanation:

DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS

We want to firstly assume that the the three trees lies on the same line

so tress A,B and C are on the same line

Given

The direct distance between A to B= 200 ft

The direct distance between B to C= 300 ft

hence A to C= 200+300= 500ft

let us do a graphical representation for better understanding

A----B-----------C

200ft    300ft

A---------- -----C

      500ft

A to C= 500ft
