Answer:
The distance from oceanfront to seaside is about 40 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given figure it is noticed that the coordinates of oceanfront are (3,-2) and coordinates of seaside are (-2,4).
Distance formula:
\(d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\)
Distance between oceanfront and seaside on the coordinate plane is
\(d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+(4-(-2))^2}\)
\(d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(6)^2}\)
\(d=\sqrt{25+36}\)
\(d=\sqrt{61}\)
It is given that each unit on the map represents 5 miles. So, the distance from oceanfront to seaside is
\(d=5\times \sqrt{61}\)
\(d=39.05125\)
\(d\approx 40\)
Therefore distance from oceanfront to seaside is about 40 miles.
