Answer 1

116 miles

Explanation:

Given

`(x_1,y_1) = (-41,3)` --- Camp 1

`(x_2,y_2) = (75,3)` --- Camp 2

Required

The distance between both camps

This is calculated using:

`d^2 = √((x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2)`

`d^2 = √((-41-75)^2 + (3-3)^2)`

`d^2 = √((-116)^2 + (0)^2)`

`d^2 = √(116^2)`

`d = 116`

The distance is 116 miles
