Question

Cameron, Arthur, and Jamie are playing soccer. Their locations are recorded by a motion tracking system. The grid shows distances in meters. Who is closer to Cameron?Explain___is closer to CameronArthur is about___meters away from Cameron, and Jamie is about__meters away from Cameron, so(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Answer 1

We need to use the distance formula:

d = √( (x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)² )

The coordinates of each player are:

Arthur : (15,30)

Jamie : (40, 15)

Cameron: (55,45)

Distance between arthur and jamie:

d = √( (40-15)² + (15-30)²) = 29.1548 = 29

Distance between arthur and cameron:

d = √( (55-15)² + (45-30)² ) = 42.72 = 43

Distance beetween jamie and cameron:

d = √( (55-40)² + (45-15)² ) = 33.54 = 34
