so your life’s to walk to work when the weather is nice, she works at the bank at the corner of 41st St. and Addison Avenue. Her house is at the corner of 42nd St. and Johnson Avenue. She can walk down Johnson Avenue and turn right on 41st St. where she can walk to the park the distance from 42nd St., 41st St. is 80 yards and it is 60 yards from Johnson Avenue to Edison Avenue assuming the streets are 90° angles. How much shorter is it for Sylvia to walk through the park if sophia walks through the park instead of straight down Johnson Avenue in straight down 41st St. the walk will be blank yards shorter.

Question

so your life’s to walk to work when the weather is nice, she works at the bank at the corner of 41st St. and Addison Avenue. Her house is at the corner of 42nd St. and Johnson Avenue. She can walk down Johnson Avenue and turn right on 41st St. where she can walk to the park the distance from 42nd St., 41st St. is 80 yards and it is 60 yards from Johnson Avenue to Edison Avenue assuming the streets are 90° angles. How much shorter is it for Sylvia to walk through the park if sophia walks through the park instead of straight down Johnson Avenue in straight down 41st St. the walk will be blank yards shorter.

Answer 1

To determine the difference in distance, we need to find the total length of each path.

If Sophia walks straight down Johnson Avenue:
Distance from 42nd St. to 41st St.: 60 yards
Distance from 41st St. to the bank: 80 yards
Total distance: 60 + 80 = 140 yards

If Sylvia walks through the park:
Distance from 42nd St. to the park: 80 yards
Distance along 41st St. to the bank: 80 yards
Total distance: 80 + 80 = 160 yards

Thus, the walk through the park is 160 - 140 = 20 yards shorter for Sylvia.
