Miya is picking up two friends to go the beach. She drives from her house to

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the point representing the location of Miya → (1, 10)

Coordinates of the point representing the location of Drea → (13, 1)

Coordinates of the point representing the location of Francine → (16, 1)

Coordinates of the point representing the location of Beach → (19, 4)

Distance between Miya and Drea = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

                                                        = $\sqrt{(13-1)^2+(1-10)^2}$

                                                        = $\sqrt{144+81}$

                                                         = 15 miles

Distance between Drea and Francine = $\sqrt{(16-13)^2+(1-1)^2}$

                                                               = 3 miles

Distance between Francine and Beach = $\sqrt{(19-16)^2+(4-1)^2}$

                                                                  = $\sqrt{9+9}$

                                                                  ≈ 4.2 miles

Total distance between Miya and the beach = 15 + 3 + 4.2

                                                                          = 22.2 miles

Option (C) is the answer.
