Question

Help me help me please!!!! ;-; SOS Use a coordinate grid to create a map of a town with at least five different locations, such as a house, a post office, a school, a library, and a mall. Each location must be plotted where two grid lines cross. In addition, no two locations can lie on the same vertical grid line or the same horizontal grid line. A sample town map has been provided for your reference.


A. Post your diagram.
B. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between two of your locations.
C. Look at another student’s map and find the distance between two of the locations on that map. Post your answer to the other student’s post.
D. Respond to replies to your own post and check the math.

Answer 1

An example is given, so you just need to create a similar map. To find the distances between the cities, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

For example, from the fire station to the post office, you can use:
2^2 + 3^2 = c^2
4 + 9 = c^2
13 = c^2
c is about 3.61
