Answer:
Distance between Amber and Claire's house = 17.63 blocks
Explanation:
In this graph three points are showing the locations of Amber's, Betsey's and Claire's houses.
Each unit on the graph represents 1 block.
Amber walks from her house to Claire's house, then on to Betsey's house.
We have to calculate the distance covered by Amber.
Since Distance from Claire's house to Betsey's house = 7 blocks = 7 units
and distance between Amber and Betsey's house = 8 blocks = 8 units
Now we will calculate the distance between Amber and Claire's house by Pythagoras theorem.
Distance² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113
Distance = √113 units = 10.63 units
Therefore, total distance walked by Amber = 10.63 + 7 = 17.63 units = 17.63 blocks
