Answer:
20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distance formula to find the length of the segment between those 2 endpoints. Â The distance formula is
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 Â Â }[/tex]
Filling in our values:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-3-7)^2+(-4-2)^2}[/tex] and
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-10)^2+(-6)^2}[/tex] and
[tex]d=\sqrt{100+36}[/tex] and
[tex]d=\sqrt{136}[/tex] so
d = 11.66190
If each unit is equivalent to 1.7 miles, multiply that distance by 1.7 to get that the distance is 19.8. Â Since we are rounding to the nearest mile, it is 20 miles.
