A coordinate plane shows the x and y axes ranging from negative 6 to 6 in unit increments. Four points are plotted and labeled on the plane. The coordinates of the plotted points and the labels are as follows: left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis is labeled as daisies, left parenthesis 5 comma 1 right parenthesis as roses, left parenthesis 5 comma 5 right parenthesis as lilies, and left parenthesis 2 comma 6 right parenthesis as sunflowers.

A map of a flower shop is shown. How far are the sunflowers located from the daisies? Each coordinate represents a foot.

Answer 1

To find the distance between the sunflowers and the daisies, we can use the distance formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Plugging in the coordinates:
(x1, y1) = (2, 6) and (x2, y2) = (2, 1)
Distance = √((2 - 2)^2 + (6 - 1)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 25)
Distance = √25
Distance = 5 feet

Therefore, the distance between the sunflowers and the daisies is 5 feet.

Correct answer: 5 feet
