A map of an amusement park is shown on the coordinate plane with the approximate location of several rides.
coordinate plane with points at negative 14 comma 1 labeled Woozy Wheel, negative 6 comma 2 labeled Bumper Boats, negative 2 comma negative 4 labeled Roller Rail, negative 2 comma negative 6 labeled Trolley Train, 2 comma negative 3 labeled Silly Slide, and 6 comma 11 labeled Parachute Plunge
Determine the distance between the Bumper Boats and the Parachute Plunge.
15 units
225 units
8 units
63 units
To determine the distance between the Bumper Boats and the Parachute Plunge, we can use the distance formula.
The distance formula is given by:
distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
Let's substitute the coordinates of the Bumper Boats (-6,2) and the Parachute Plunge (6,11) into the formula:
distance = √((6 - (-6))² + (11 - 2)²)
distance = √((6 + 6)² + (11 - 2)²)
distance = √(12² + 9²)
distance = √(144 + 81)
distance = √225
distance = 15
Therefore, the distance between the Bumper Boats and the Parachute Plunge is 15 units.
