Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are going too have to use the distance formula.


Distance = √((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

We can plug in the coordinate points that we are given to their respectful places.


Distance=√((6-8)^2+(-6-1)^2)


Distance=√((-2)^2+(-7)^2)


Distance=√(4+49)


Distance=√(53)


Distance=7.3

So, the distance between the pool and the main office is 7.3 miles.
