To find: the distance between the lakes to the nearest mile.
Answer to Problem 46SGR
The distance between the lakes to the nearest mileis 8.86 miles.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Formula used:
The distance between the points are calculated as
Calculation:
Let the two lakes be at points F and E respectively.
The coordinates are
Apply distance formula by keeping the values of the two coordinates
Or,
Or,
Or,
Or,
Reduce the solution to decimals
2 units on coordinate scale is equivalent to 1 mile in actual measurements.
Thus for 17.7 units in coordinates systems
The actual distance will be equal to
Conclusion:
Therefore, the distance between the lakes to the nearest mileis 8.86 miles.
