Answer:

The distance from oceanfront to seaside is about 40 miles.

Explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the coordinates of oceanfront are (3,-2) and coordinates of seaside are (-2,4).

Distance formula:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Distance between oceanfront and seaside on the coordinate plane is


d=√((-2-3)^2+(4-(-2))^2)


d=√((-5)^2+(6)^2)


d=√(25+36)


d=√(61)

It is given that each unit on the map represents 5 miles. So, the distance from oceanfront to seaside is


d=5* √(61)


d=39.05125


d\approx 40

Therefore distance from oceanfront to seaside is about 40 miles.
