Polygons in the Coordinate Plane Practice A neighborhood map was created on a coordinate plane. Each grid represents one mile. If the pool is on coordinates (2, 20) , and your house is on coordinates (2, 18) , how many miles is your house from the pool?

1 answer

The distance between two points on a coordinate plane can be calculated using the distance formula:

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Plugging in the coordinates of the pool and your house:

d = √[(2 - 2)^2 + (20 - 18)^2]
d = √[(0)^2 + (2)^2]
d = √[0 + 4]
d = √4
d = 2

Therefore, your house is 2 miles away from the pool.
