To determine the exact distance between the roses and the lilies on the map, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
Let's assume that the roses are located at point A (3,4) and the lilies are located at point B (7,1).
Using the formula for distance between two points on a coordinate plane:
distance = √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates of the roses and lilies:
distance = √((7-3)^2 + (1-4)^2)
distance = √(4^2 + (-3)^2)
distance = √(16 + 9)
distance = √25
distance = 5
Therefore, the roses are 5 feet away from the lilies on the map.
