on a grid. Aaron drew a straight line from Oden to Lundy. Which of the
following is closest to the distance between Oden and Lundy along the
straight line? *
Please help quickly!!

Answer 1

Answer:

10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached grid

Required

The distance between Oden and Lundy

See attachment for modified grid

From the newly attached grid, we have:

$d^2 = 6^2 + 8^2$ ---- Pythagoras theorem

This gives:

$d^2 = 36 + 64$

$d^2 = 100$

Take positive square roots of both sides

$d = \sqrt{100$

$d = 10$

Hence, the distance is 10 miles
