Question

Question 1
Ronald and Lucy wanted to see how far apart they were in their dorm rooms. They created a map with a grid where each grid represents a mile. They marked Ronald at (2,1) and Lucy at (6,4).





Part A: To the nearest mile, how far apart are they?



Math Input:
Part B: What set of coordinates would be a midpoint between their two locations?

Math Input: left parenthesis, , , right parenthesis

Answer 1

Part A: Distance = sqrt((6−2)^2 + (4−1)^2) = sqrt(16+9) = sqrt(25) = 5 miles.

Part B: Midpoint = ((2+6)/2, (1+4)/2) = (4, 2.5).
