Answer 1

5.83 units

Explanation:

We write the coordinate points of Maple Station (-3,5) and Town Center (0,0). We label the points left to right as
`(x_(1), y_(1)) and (x_(2), y_(2))` and substitute the values.

`(x_(1), y_(1)) = (-3, 5)\\(x_(2), y_(2))=(0,0)`

`d=\sqrt{(0-5)^(2) + (0-(-3) })^(2)}`

`d=\sqrt{(0-5)^(2) + (0+3) })^(2)}`

`d=\sqrt{(-5)^(2) + (3) }^(2)}`

`d=√(25 +9)}`

`d=√(34)}`
