Answer:
A; the actual length of the land bridge from P to H is 50 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this case, given the coordinates of P and H, we want to calculate the actual length of the distance between the two points.
Mathematically, to calculate this distance, we make use of the distance formula;
D = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
In this case, (x1,y1) = (2,55) while (x2,y2) = (32,15)
Substituting these values
D = √(32-2)^2 + (15-55)^2
D = √(-30)^2 + (-40)^2
D = √(900 + 1600)
D = √(2,500)
D = 50 units
Now, we know that each units represent 1 yard, thus 50 units will represent 50 * 1 = 50 yards
