Question

Please this is URGENT!!!!!! need it in the next 5 mins!!!!!!!

Please be my life saver and help me out!

Angelica uses a coordinate plane to make a map of her neighborhood. The point at (4, 3) represents the location of her house, and the point at (10, 8) to represent the location of the gas station. She wants to drive to the gas station using the straight line shown below. Use what you know about right triangles to find out how far she will drive. Each unit on the graph represents 1 mile.

In this answer, give the length of the straight line shown on the graph, and explain how you calculated it.

Answer 1

distance: 7.81 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

simply use distance formula:
`\sf √((y_2 -y_1)^2 + (x_2-x_1)^2)`

• coordinates: (4, 3), (10, 8)

using the equation:

`\hookrightarrow \sf √((8-3)^2+(10-4)^2)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf √((5)^2+(6)^2)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf √(25+36)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf √(61)`

`\hookrightarrow \sf 7.81 \ miles`
