Solution
find the actual distance. Since each unit on the grid is 0.5 mile, the ferry will travel about
Length of the missing side of the triagle = 10.2
Unit on the grid = 0.5mile
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{unit -}\longrightarrow\text{ 0.5 mile} \\ 10.2\text{unit}--\longrightarrow x \\ x=\frac{10.2\times0.5}{1} \\ x=5.1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the correct answer is Option C
