To find the length of trail.
Answer to Problem 31PPS
Length of trail is 4.49 miles.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Initial points coordinates: (23,525, 9300)
Final point coordinates: (0, 12,633)
Formula used:
Distance between pair of points=
Calculation:
Converting into miles,
23,525 feet = 4.45 miles.
9300 feet = 1.76 miles
12,663 feet = 2.39 miles
Now points are X (4.45, 1.76) and Y (0, 2.39) Let the initial point’s coordinates be X and final coordinates be Y .
Now,
Substituting values,
Solving,
So,
And
Hence, length of trail is 4.49 miles.
