Answer 1

3.2 miles

Explanation:

Distance Formula: √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

Plug the given points into the distance equation:

`\sqrt{(0-52800)^(2)+(8751-4251)^(2)  }`

Simplify:

`√(2787840000+20250000)`

Simplify further:

`30√(312010)` ≈ 16757.3566

Divide 16757.3566 by 5280 to obtain the amount in miles:

`(16757.3566)/(5280)` ≈ 3.1737

Round to the nearest tenth of a mile:

3.2 miles
