Use the map shown below to find the distance between cities A and B to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

7.2 units

Explanation:

Coordinates of city A = (0, 0)

Coordinates of city B = (6, 4)

Use the distance formula to find the distance between the two cities as follows:

`AB = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`

Let,

`A(0, 0) = (x_1, y_1)`

`B(6, 4) = (x_2, y_2)`

Plug in the values into the formula

`AB = √((6 - 0)^2 + (4 - 0)^2)`

`AB = √((6)^2 + (4)^2)`

`AB = √(36 + 16) = √(52)`

`AB = 7.2` (nearest tenth)
