Question

Emma drives 6 miles east and 5 miles north to get home from work. Kyle drives 2 miles north and 3 miles east to get home from the same location. How far do Kyle and Emma live from each other? A. 4.2 miles B. 4.5 miles C. 11.3 miles D. 11.4 miles

Answer 1

4.2 miles

Explanation:

i just had this question.

Answer 2

consider the miles points with east being the x and north being the y

so Emma is (6,5) and Kyle is (3,2)

distance formula is sqrt ( x2-x1^2 + y2-y1^2)

so sqrt((3-6)^2+(2-5)^2) = sqrt18

sqrt(18) = 4.2 miles
