The location of four amusement park rides on a coordinate grid are as follows:

Ride 1 at (−3,− 4)

Ride 2 at ​ (−3,2) ​

Ride 3 at (5,2)

Ride 4 at (5,−4)

Jesse begins at Ride 1 and then walks to Ride 2, then Ride 3, and then Ride 4. Then she walks back to Ride 3. The path between each ride is a straight line. One unit on the coordinate grid equals 50 yards. What is the total distance Jesse walked?

The answer is 1,300 yard.
I used an online graph mapper to map the points on the graph.
I then counted from Ride 1 --> Ride 2 ---> Ride 3 ---> Ride 4 ---> Ride 3.
I got 26, which then needs to be multiplied by 50.
The reason for multiplying it by 50 is due to the fact that we are trying to convert blocks on the graph to yards.
1 unit = 50 yards.

This results in the answer being 1,300!

Hope this Helps! :)
