The walk through the park will be 100 yards shorter.
To calculate the difference in distance, we need to find the lengths of both routes.
1. Straight down Johnson Avenue:
Distance from Sylvia's house to the corner of Johnson Avenue and 41st St. = 1 block = 80 yards
Distance from the corner of Johnson Avenue and 41st St. to the corner of Edison Avenue and 41st St. = 1 block = 60 yards
Total distance = 80 yards + 60 yards = 140 yards
2. Through the park:
Distance from Sylvia's house to the corner of 42nd St. and 41st St. = 1 block = 80 yards
Distance from the corner of 42nd St. and 41st St. to the corner of Edison Avenue and 41st St. (walking through the park) = 60 yards
Total distance = 80 yards + 60 yards = 140 yards
The lengths are equal, so the walk through the park is 140 yards - 140 yards = 0 yards shorter.
So you like to walk to work on the weather is nice. She works at the bank at the corner 41st St. and Edison Avenue. Her house is at the corner of 42nd St. and Johnson Avenue. She can walk down Johnson Avenue and turn right onto 41st St. she can walk through the park distance from 42nd St. to 41st St. is 80 yard 60 yards and Johnson Ave., Edson Avenue the street intersections are 90° angles how much shorter is it for so walk-through the park. Sylvia walks through the park instead of straight down Johnson Avenue straight down 41st St., the walk will be blank shorter
