Asked by Makayla
Julie is looking at a treasure map. The map is marked in paces. If she is standing at the streetlight, how many paces will it be for her to go directly to the bridge?
about 10 paces
about 26 paces
about 52 paces
about 7 paces

I can't see the map — could you upload it or describe the positions and the scale (for example: the streetlight is 10 paces east and 24 paces north of the bridge, or the map grid shows these coordinates)?
How to solve once I have that info:
- If you have coordinates (x1,y1) for the streetlight and (x2,y2) for the bridge, the direct distance in paces is sqrt((x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2).
- If the map gives horizontal and vertical separations (legs of a right triangle) a and b, the direct distance is sqrt(a^2 + b^2).
- If the map is drawn to scale, measure the map distance and multiply by the scale factor to convert to paces.
Note: common Pythagorean results you might see are 26 paces (e.g. legs 10 and 24) or 52 paces (double that triangle). Provide the map or distances and I’ll compute the exact answer.
