To find the distance traveled if Abigail stops by Bob's Store before going to Clara's house, we can use the distance formula:
distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
First, let's find the distance from Abigail's house to Bob's Store:
distance_AB = √((2 - (-3))^2 + (-1 - (-1))^2)
distance_AB = √(5^2 + 0^2)
distance_AB = √(25 + 0)
distance_AB = √25
distance_AB = 5 units
Next, let's find the distance from Bob's Store to Clara's house:
distance_BC = √((2 - 2)^2 + (3 - (-1))^2)
distance_BC = √(0^2 + 4^2)
distance_BC = √(0 + 16)
distance_BC = √16
distance_BC = 4 units
Now, let's find the total distance traveled if Abigail stops by Bob's Store before going to Clara's house:
distance_total = distance_AB + distance_BC
distance_total = 5 + 4
distance_total = 9 units
Therefore, if Abigail stops by Bob's Store before going to Clara's house, she will travel a distance of 9 units.
Now, let's determine the distance traveled if Abigail goes directly to Clara's house. We can use the distance formula again:
distance_AC = √((2 - (-3))^2 + (3 - (-1))^2)
distance_AC = √(5^2 + 4^2)
distance_AC = √(25 + 16)
distance_AC = √41
distance_AC ≈ 6.4 units
The difference in measurement between the two routes Abigail can take is:
differenence = distance_total - distance_AC
difference = 9 - 6.4
difference ≈ 2.6 units
Therefore, the route where Abigail stops by Bob's Store is approximately 2.6 units longer than going directly to Clara's house. The direct route to Clara's house is faster.
Part 1: Abigail lives at the point (-3, -1) and wants to travel to her friend Clara's house at (2, 3) on the map. She has two choices to get there: either travel directly to Clara's house, or Abigail can stop by Bob's Store at (2, -1) to pick up snacks before travelling to Clara's house. Abigail wants to compare the two distances of her choices.A drawing of the story problem. Abigail lives at point A(-3, -1), Clara lives at point C(2, 3) and Bob's Store is at point B(2, -1). The three points form a right triangle.

can you explain that now in 3 sentaces?
The distance traveled if Abigail stops by Bob's Store before going to Clara's house is 9 units. The distance traveled if Abigail goes directly to Clara's house is approximately √41 units. The direct route to Clara's house is faster than stopping by Bob's Store.
