Question

the distance is □. (round to the nearest tenth as needed) use the map shown below to find the distance between cities a and b to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the coordinates of points A and B

Assume the grid has each unit as 1. Let’s say point \(A=(1,0)\) and point \(B = (-3,8)\) (coordinates based on typical grid - reading).

Step2: Use the distance formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

Here \(x_1 = 1,y_1 = 0,x_2=-3,y_2 = 8\). Substitute into the formula:
