Question

What is the driving distance from the gas station to the stadium

Answer 1

The distance is √37

Step-by-step explanation

Assuming that the driving distance is a straight line from the gas station at point (4, 4) to the stadium at point (-2, 3) we can use the distance between two points formula:

`d=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2_{}}`

For this problem, the distance betweent he mentioned points is:

`\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(4-(-2))^2+(4-3)^2} \\ d=\sqrt[]{6^2+1^2} \\ d=\sqrt[]{36+1} \\ d=\sqrt[]{37} \end{gathered}`
