Question

ASAP!!! A bike trail starts at (4.2,−30.5) and ends at (4.2,9.7) on a map. Each unit represents 1 kilometer. What is the distance from start of the trail to the end?

Answer 1

Answer: 40.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates are the same, so we subtract the y coordinates and use absolute value to ensure the result isn't negative.

|-30.5 - 9.7| = |-40.2| = 40.2

One unit represents 1 km, so 40.2 units represent 40.2 km

This converts to 40,200 meters. Multiply by 1000 to go from km to meters.
