Question

on a map where each unit represents one kilometer two marinas are located at p(4,2) and q(8,12). if a boat travels in a straight line from one marina to the other how far does the boat travel. Answer choices: 14 kilometers 2^296 kilometer 2^5 kilometers

Answer 1

Step 1:

Write the two given points:

p(4,2) and q(8,12)

Step 2

Find the distance between the two points:

`\begin{gathered} Distance\text{ = }√((8-4)^2+(12-2)^2) \\ \\ =\text{ }√(4^2+10^2) \\ \\ =\text{ }√(16+100) \\ \\ =\text{ }√(116) \\ \\ =\text{ 2}√(29) \end{gathered}`
