Answer:
3.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The straight line distance from the school to the mall is found using the Pythagorean theorem. That distance is the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 27 blocks in the east-west direction and 22 blocks in the north-south direction.
d = √(27^2 +22^2) = √1213 ≈ 34.83 . . . blocks
Since each block is 0.1 miles, the distance in miles is ...
distance to mall = (0.1 miles/block)(34.83 blocks) = 3.483 miles
Rounded to tenths, the distance from school to mall is 3.5 miles.
