What potential strategies could you use to find the distance from the Bumper Cars to the roller Coaster? Choose two answers.
(2 points)
Count the diagonal squares from the bumper cars to the roller coaster.
Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6 and horizontal distance of 9; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal distance; approximately 10.8 units
Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6 and horizontal distance of 9; A dd 6+9=15 15 units
Use the distance formula using the points (- 5, 4) and (- 2, 4) approximately 2.6 units
Use the distance formula using the points (- 5, 4) and (4, - 2) approximately 10.8 units
Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 9 and horizontal distance of 6; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal distance; approximately 3.87 units

- Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6 and horizontal distance of 9; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the diagonal distance; approximately 10.8 units
Based on the options provided:
- Counting the diagonal squares from the bumper cars to the roller coaster is a strategy to find the distance between the two points.
- Drawing the diagonal, dropping a right triangle to determine the vertical and horizontal distance, and using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal distance is another strategy to find the distance. In this case, the approximate distance is calculated to be 10.8 units.
Therefore, the strategies you could use to find the distance from the Bumper Cars to the roller coaster are counting the diagonal squares and using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal distance.
