Two children in nearby houses attempt to use walkie-talkies to communicate.The walkie-talkies reach one quarter of a mile(1,320 feet). From one child's house to the other,the walk along the city's sidewalk is as follows:Proceed 450 feet from the first house to the nearest corner,turn right 900, and proceed another 1,050 feet. Are the children's houses with 1,320-foot range of one another? Choose the best answer. A. No,but if the turn were to the left instead they would be within range. B.Yes,because city blocks are much smaller than one quarter of a mile. C. No, because the distance is greater than 1,320 feet. D. Yes,as the distance formula indicates.
