A map of a flower shop is shown. Each coordinate represents one foot. How far are the roses from the lilies? Explain how you found your answer.

To find the distance between the roses and the lilies, we need to calculate the distance between their respective coordinates on the map.
Let's assume the roses are located at coordinates (4,6) and the lilies are located at coordinates (6,3).
Using the distance formula:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Distance = √[(6 - 4)^2 + (3 - 6)^2]
Distance = √[(2)^2 + (-3)^2]
Distance = √[4 + 9]
Distance = √13
Therefore, the roses are approximately √13 feet away from the lilies.
