To find the distance between the roses and the lilies on the map, we need to measure the distance between their respective coordinates.
The roses are located at coordinates (3,8) and the lilies are located at coordinates (7,2).
Using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Distance = √((7 - 3)^2 + (2 - 8)^2)
Distance = √(4^2 + (-6)^2)
Distance = √(16 + 36)
Distance = √52
Distance ≈ 7.21 feet
Therefore, the roses are approximately 7.21 feet away from the lilies on the map.
A map of a flower shop is shown. Each coordinate represents one foot. How far are the roses from the lilies? Explain how you found your answer.
