Sylvia likes to walk to work when the weather is nice she works at the bank at the corner of 41 1st Street and Edison avenue her house is at the corner of 42 seconds Street and Johnson avenue she can walk down Johnson avenue turn right on 41 Street or she can walk through the park the distance from the 42nd Street to the 41st Street is 80 yards and it is 60 yards from Johnson avenue to Edison avenue assuming the street intersections are 90 angles how much shorter is it for Sylvia to walk through the park if Sylvia walk through the park instead of straight down Johnson avenue and straight down 41st Street The Rock will be how many yards shorter
To calculate how much shorter it is for Sylvia to walk through the park, we need to calculate the total distance for both paths.
1. Walking straight down Johnson Avenue and then turning right on 41st Street:
Distance from her house to the corner of 41st Street and Johnson Avenue: 80 yards
Distance from there to her workplace: 60 yards
Total distance = 80 yards + 60 yards = 140 yards
2. Walking through the park:
Distance from her house to the corner of 42nd Street: 80 yards
Distance from there to the corner of 41st Street and Edison Avenue: 60 yards
Total distance = 80 yards + 60 yards = 140 yards
Both paths have the same total distance of 140 yards, which means walking through the park is not shorter than walking straight down Johnson Avenue and 41st Street.
