(a)
To find:The point T five blocks due west to the centre of town.
(a)
Answer to Problem 1E
The answer is T (-5, 0).
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The grid system based on the previous page onto a piece of graph paper.
Formula used:
Center of town is located at point O (0, 0).
Calculation:
Consider the Statement below
Consider the grid system in the attached figure and locate the points T, U and V.
Center of town is located at point O (0, 0). Point T is five blocks west of O which implies move 5 blocks left of point O. Therefore, the coordinates of point T are T (-5, 0)
Hence, the answer is T (-5, 0).
Conclusion:
The answer is T (-5, 0).
(b)
To find: A point U five blocks east and two blocks south of the center of town.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1E
The answer is U (5, -2).
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Center of town is located at point O (0, 0).
Calculation:
The Center of town is located at point O (0, 0).
The Point U is five blocks east and two blocks south of O which implies move 5 blocks right of point O and two blocks below point O.
Therefore, the coordinates of point U are U (5, -2)
Hence, the answer is U (5, -2).
Conclusion:
The answer is U (5, -2).
(c)
To find: A point V two blocks west and one block north of your house, which is located at point P
(c)
Answer to Problem 1E
The answer is P (3, 2) and Q (1,3)
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Center of town is located at point O (0, 0).
Calculation:
Center of town is located at point O (0, 0). Point P is three blocks east and two blocks north of O which implies move 3 blocks right of point 0 and two blocks above point O. Therefore, the coordinates of point P are P (3, 2). The point Q which is two blocks west and one block north of P implies move two blocks to the left and one block above point P. Therefore, the coordinates of point Q are Q (l, 3)
Hence, the answer is P (3, 2) and Q (1,3)
Conclusion:
The answer is P (3, 2) and Q (1,3)
