Question

Daniel works for the city and is reimbursed for his mileage when traveling for work. In order to submit his reimbursement form, he needs to record his mileage from City Hall to the Theater. What is the distance from City Hall to the Theater? Show your work and leave your answer in simplest radical form if necessary.

Answer 1

The first thing you should do in this case is write the pairs ordered correctly.
 City Hall:
 P1 = (x1, y1) = (7, 5)
 Theater:
 P2 = (x2, y2) = (2, 3)
 Then, we find the distance between the points.
 The distance between two points can be thought of as a line. To find the length of this line, you can use the distance formula:
 d = √ (x2 - x1) ^ 2 + (y2 - y1) ^ 2.
 Substituting:
 d = √ (2 - 7) ^ 2 + (3 - 5) ^ 2.
 d = 5.4
 d = 5 2/5
 Answer:
 the distance from City Hall to the Theater is:
 d = 5 2/5 units
