What potential strategies could you use to find the distance from the
Bumper Cars to the roller Coaster? Select two
1::Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6
and horizontal distance of 9; Add 6 + 9 = 15; 15 units
2::Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 9
and horizontal distance of 6; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for
the diagonal distance; approximately 3.87 units
3::Use the distance formula using the points (-5, 4) and (-2, 4); approximately
2.6 units
4::Use the distance formula using the points (-5, 4) and (4, -2); approximately
10.8 units
5::Count the diagonal squares from the bumper cars to the roller coaster.
6::Draw the diagonal; drop a right triangle to see the vertical distance of 6
and horizontal distance of 9; use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for
the diagonal distance; approximately 10.8 units
7:: Use a measuring wheel or tape measure for accurate distance measurement between the two points
8:: Use a phone app or GPS device to calculate the distance between the two points
9:: Ask for information or consult a map or directory at the amusement park
10:: Use landmarks or visual markers to estimate the distance between the two points.
