Question

Help me on this please.

Answer 1

Answer: Choice A)

Approximately 0.4 units or about 24 miles approximately

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

B = Santa Barbara's location

C = Santa Cruz Island's location

Point B is located at (34.4, 119.714)

Point C is located at (34, 119.726)

Use the distance formula to find the distance from B to C

`d = √( (x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2)\\\\d = √( (34.4-34)^2 + (119.714-119.726)^2)\\\\d = √(0.160144 )\\\\d \approx 0.40017995951821\\\\d \approx 0.4\\\\`

Unfortunately, there isn't enough info to be able to go from 0.4 units to roughly 24 miles, so I don't know how your teacher is doing that step. But luckily, only choice A mentions 0.4, so this has to be the answer.
