Answer:

C

Explanation:

The x coordinate of the rest stop:

1/2 × (the sum of the x coordinates of the highschool and the stadium)

= 1/2 × (3+7)

= 1/2 × 10

= 5

The y coordinate of the rest stop:

- Same thing i did for the x coordinate, but use the y coordinates.

1/2 × (the sum of the y coordinates of the highschool and the stadium)

= 1/2 × (4 + 1)

= 1/2 × 5

=5/2

So the coordinate of the rest stop would be (5, 5/2).

Next for the distance, i used the pythagoras theory so it's like this:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Here you plot the highschool and the stadium on the coodinate plane, then connect the two dots to make a right triangle. The height of the triangle will be 3, and the base would be 4. So a=3, b=4 in the equation.

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 + c^2

25 + c^2

c = 5

(Note that this isn't the real answer cuz at the end of the question it said that one UNIT equals 6.4 MILES.)

So the final answer is 5 × 6.4, which is 32. The answer is C.
