Question

The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−2, 4) and goes to S(3, 4) and continues to T(3, −1). The total length of the walking trail is ____ units. (Input whole numbers only.) (15 points on the line)

Answer 1

10 units

Explanation:

Using a corrdinate grid, you can plot the points to find the distance between each one to get your answer. You can also look at the points given:

R(-2, 4) to S(3, 4) = moves in a straight line east (right) for a total of 5 units

S(3, 4) to T (3, -1) = moves in a straing line south (down) for a total of 5 units

5 units + 5 units = 10 total units of walking trail
