Answer:
3.2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance Formula: √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²
Plug the given points into the distance equation:
[tex]\sqrt{(0-52800)^{2}+(8751-4251)^{2} }[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\sqrt{2787840000+20250000}[/tex]
Simplify further:
[tex]30\sqrt{312010}[/tex] ≈ 16757.3566
Divide 16757.3566 by 5280 to obtain the amount in miles:
[tex]\frac{16757.3566}{5280}[/tex] ≈ 3.1737
Round to the nearest tenth of a mile:
3.2 miles
