What potential strategies could you use to find the distance from the Bumper Cars to the roller Coaster? Check TWO that apply.

(2 points)

Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6 and horizontal distance of 9; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal distance; approximately 10.8 units

Count the diagonal squares from the bumper cars to the roller coaster.

Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 9 and horizontal distance of 6; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal distance; approximately 3.87 units

Use the distance formula using the points (-5, 4) and (4, -2); approximately 10.8 units

Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6 and horizontal distance of 9; Add 6 + 9 = 15; 15 units

Use the distance formula using the points (-5, 4) and (-2, 4); approximately 2.6 units

Choose:
- Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6 and horizontal distance of 9; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal distance; approximately 10.8 units
- Use the distance formula using the points (-5, 4) and (4, -2); approximately 10.8 units

Reason: The horizontal difference is 9 and the vertical difference is 6, so distance = sqrt(9^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(117) ≈ 10.82. The other choices are either arithmetic errors, use wrong points, or an unreliable counting method.
