To find the length between landmark A (White House) and landmark E (National Portrait Gallery), we need to determine the distance in units between the two points on the grid.
From the given information, we know the coordinates of A are 4 units across and 3 units down, and the coordinates of E are 12 units across and 3 units down.
To find the length between A and E in units, we simply subtract the x-coordinate of A from the x-coordinate of E, which gives us 12 - 4 = 8 units.
Therefore, the length between landmark A and landmark E is 8 units.
Use the image to answer the question.
A map shows a grid 17 units across and 12 units high, superimposed over shapes that represent streets and buildings. A key lists buildings located in Washington D.C. that correspond to points on the grid. Point A represents the White House. It is located at 4 units across from the left, and 3 units down from the top. Point B represents the Washington Monument, located at 5 units across and 9 units down. Point C represents the Natural History Museum, and is located at approximately 8 units across and 8 units down. Point D represents the Smithsonian, and is located at 10 units across and 10 units down. Point E represents the National Portrait Gallery, and is located at 12 units across and 3 units down. Point F represents the National Gallery of Art, and is located at 14 units across and 8 units down. A scale shows 200 feet and 200 meters.
