Each unit on the map represents 5 miles. What is the actual distance from ocean front to seaside?
Solution:
From the figure, we see that the coordinates of oceanfront are (3, -2) and coordinates of seaside are (-2, 4)
Let us use the distance formula
\(\\d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}} \\ \\Let\: us \: substitute\: the \: values \\ \\d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^{2}+(4-(-2))^{2}} \\ \\d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+6^{2}} \\ \\d=\sqrt{25+36}\)
So we get,
d = √61
We know that the map represents 5 miles
So the distance from oceanfront to seaside is
d = 5 × √61
d = 39.05125
d ≈ 40 miles
Therefore, the actual distance from oceanfront to seaside is 39.05125 miles or we can approximately say 40 miles.
Each unit on the map represents 5 miles. What is the actual distance from ocean front to seaside?
Summary:
Each unit on the map represents 5 miles. The actual distance from oceanfront to seaside is 39.05125 miles or we can approximately say 40 miles.
