5. Aaron drew a map showing the locations of two cities, Oden and Lundy,
on a grid. Aaron drew a straight line from Oden to Lundy. Which of the
following is closest to the distance between Oden and Lundy along the
straight line? *
Please help quickly!!

Answer 1

10 miles

Explanation:

Given

The attached grid

Required

The distance between Oden and Lundy

See attachment for modified grid

From the newly attached grid, we have:

`d^2 = 6^2 + 8^2` ---- Pythagoras theorem

This gives:

`d^2 = 36 + 64`

`d^2 = 100`

Take positive square roots of both sides

`d = \sqrt{100`

`d = 10`

Hence, the distance is 10 miles
