Question

The library is located at (-4, 5) and the school is located at (4,5). If each unit on the coordinate plane represents ¼ of a mile, how far away from each other are the school and library?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$d=\sqrt{(-4-4)^{2}+(5-5)^{2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2} } =8$ units

if each unit represents 1/4 miles in the plane, then

$d=8(1/4)=2 miles$

Hope this helps
