- A house and a barn are on the same side of a driveway. Two walkways are planned to connect the buildings to a point P on the driveway. On a grid, the house would be at (5, 2), the barn would be at (-1, 4), and the driveway would be located along the x-axis. Where should point P be located to make the length of the walkways as short as possible? a (0,0) b (-1, -4) c (5, -2) d (3, 0)arrow_forwardA rectangle is fenced off for a robot competition. The dimensions of the competition area are 35 feet by 25 feet. To help track the robots, the southwest vertex of the rectangle is assigned coordinates (0,0) and the northeast vertex is assigned coordinates (35, 25). Show Your Work The robot that traveled the farthest distance began at (3,18) and moved in a linear path for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, the robot's position was at (31, 6). The robot traveled approximately feet after 5 seconds. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. The approcimate average speed of the winning robot is feet per second.arrow_forwardFind the equation of the circlearrow_forward
