below.
у (km)
G(20,10)
R
x (km)
• Raj's house is located on the y-axis and Priya's
house is located on the x-axis.
• The street that connects Priya's house to the gas
station is perpendicular to the street that connects
Raj's house to the gas station (point G). The two
streets meet at point G.
The rule that defines RG is y =x+2.
Approximately what is the shortest distance between Raj's
house and Priya's house? Please round your answer to
the nearest tenth of a kilometre, if necessary.
