Question

What is the driving distance between the police station and Art Museum

Answer 1

First, locate the coordinate points (x,y) of each place, by looking at the graph:

Police station = (0,-4)

Art museum = (6,1)

Apply the distance formula:

`D=\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}`

Replacing:

`D=\sqrt[]{(6-0)^2+(1-(-4))^2}=\sqrt[]{6^2+5^2}=\sqrt[]{36+25}=\sqrt[]{61}=7.81`
