Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The x coordinate of the rest stop:
1/2 × (the sum of the x coordinates of the highschool and the stadium)
= 1/2 × (3+7)
= 1/2 × 10
= 5
The y coordinate of the rest stop:
- Same thing i did for the x coordinate, but use the y coordinates.
1/2 × (the sum of the y coordinates of the highschool and the stadium)
= 1/2 × (4 + 1)
= 1/2 × 5
=5/2
So the coordinate of the rest stop would be (5, 5/2).
Next for the distance, i used the pythagoras theory so it's like this:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Here you plot the highschool and the stadium on the coodinate plane, then connect the two dots to make a right triangle. The height of the triangle will be 3, and the base would be 4. So a=3, b=4 in the equation.
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9 + 16 + c^2
25 + c^2
c = 5
(Note that this isn't the real answer cuz at the end of the question it said that one UNIT equals 6.4 MILES.)
So the final answer is 5 × 6.4, which is 32. The answer is C.
