Question

PLEASE HELP FOR 70 POINTS!!!!!! Maria and Jackson like in adjacent neighborhoods. If they superimpose a coordinate grid on the map of their neighborhoods, Maria lives at (–9, 1) and Jackson lives at (5, –4). Each unit on the grid is equal to approximately 0.132 mile. 8. How far apart do Maria and Jackson live to the nearest thousandth? 9. If April lives equidistant to both Maria and Jackson, at what coordinate on the grid would she live? 10. How far apart would Maria and April live to the nearest thousandth?

Answer 1

8) 1.962 miles

9) (-2, -1.5)

10) 0.515 miles

Explanation:

√(-9 - 5)² + (1 - -4)² = 14.866

14.866 x .132 = 1.962

(-9+5)/2, (1 + -4)/2

-4/2, -3/2

-2, -3/2

√(-2 - 1)² + (-3/2 - -4)² = 3.905

3.905 x .132 = 0.515 miles
