Question

Archie draws a scale drawing of a dog park on the coordinate plane below. The angle at each corner is a right angle.



In his drawing, what is the shortest approximate unit distance from the southern corner to the western corner?

Answer 1

I don't have the coordinate diagram, so I can't compute the exact distance yet. Can you either paste the coordinates of the southern and western corners or upload the picture of the coordinate plane?

How to get the answer once you have the diagram:
1. Identify the southern corner (point with the smallest y-value) and the western corner (point with the smallest x-value).
2. Read their coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
3. Use the distance formula: distance = sqrt[(x2 − x1)^2 + (y2 − y1)^2].
4. Compare the result to the choices.

If you just want to pick from the given choices by estimating the length on the drawing, here are the decimal values of the choices for quick comparison:
- √32 ≈ 5.657
- 3√2 ≈ 4.243
- √92 ≈ 9.591
- 9√2 ≈ 12.728
- 3 = 3
- 18 = 18

Send the coordinates or the image and I’ll compute the exact choice.
