Shahriyar is at a winter park with his family. They go sledding first, then ice skating, then skiing. What is the total distance traveled between these locations? (1 point) $$

To answer this question, we need to know the distance between each location at the winter park. Without that information, we cannot calculate the total distance traveled.
sledding (2, 12) ice skating (2, -4) skiing (-8, -4)
To calculate the total distance traveled, we need to find the distance between each pair of locations and then add them up.

The distance between the sledding and ice skating locations can be found using the distance formula, which is √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2):

Distance between sledding and ice skating = √((2-2)^2 + (-4-12)^2)
= √(0^2 + (-16)^2)
= √(0 + 256)
= √256
= 16

The distance between the ice skating and skiing locations can be calculated similarly:

Distance between ice skating and skiing = √((-8-2)^2 + (-4-(-4))^2)
= √((-10)^2 + 0^2)
= √(100 + 0)
= √100
= 10

Finally, we can add up the distances:

Total distance traveled = Distance between sledding and ice skating + Distance between ice skating and skiing
= 16 + 10
= 26

Therefore, the total distance traveled between the sledding, ice skating, and skiing locations is 26 units.
