Question

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. (2 points)

Answer 1

To determine how far the roses are from the lilies, we can calculate the distance between the two points using the distance formula.

Let's assume the roses are located at point A (6,3) and the lilies are located at point B (2,7).
Using the distance formula:
d = √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
d = √((2-6)^2 + (7-3)^2)
d = √((-4)^2 + (4)^2)
d = √(16 + 16)
d = √32
d = 5.66 feet

Therefore, the roses are approximately 5.66 feet away from the lilies.
