Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

Assume point A has coordinates $(x_1,y_1)$ and point B has coordinates $(x_2,y_2)$ by observing the grid - based on the standard Cartesian coordinate system.

Step2: Apply distance formula

The distance $d$ between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by the formula $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Calculate the differences in $x$ - coordinates and $y$ - coordinates, square them, sum them, and then take the square - root.

Step3: Round the result

Round the calculated distance value to the nearest tenth as required.

Answer:

(The actual answer depends on the specific coordinates of points A and B which are not clearly visible in the provided image. If we assume point A is $(x_1,y_1)$ and point B is $(x_2,y_2)$ after identifying them, we calculate $d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$ and round to the nearest tenth.)
