what is the best parking space/shortest that would take the from store 1 to store 2 and back to the car?use the following information:
-the distance between store 1 to store 2 is 25 yds wide.
-driveway between the sidewalk and parking lot is 10 yds
this all they give me please help!!!!
asap!!1
To find the best parking space that minimizes the total walking distance from Store 1 to Store 2 and back to the car, follow these steps:
1. Identify the area where you can park your car.
- Assume the parking lot is in front of Store 1, perpendicular to the sidewalk and the driveway.
2. Measure the distance between Store 1 and the parking lot.
- Since they have not provided the specific distance, we can assume an average parking lot depth of 20 yards from the sidewalk.
3. Calculate the total walking distance from Store 1 to Store 2.
- The distance between Store 1 and Store 2 is given as 25 yards.
- Add the distance from Store 1 to the parking lot (step 2) and the distance from Store 2 to the parking lot (assumed equal to Step 2).
Total walking distance = 25 yards + 20 yards + 20 yards = 65 yards.
4. Calculate the total walking distance from Store 2 back to the car.
- The distance from Store 2 to the parking lot is already accounted for in Step 3, so it remains 20 yards.
5. Calculate the total walking distance for the round trip.
- Total round trip walking distance = Total walking distance from Store 1 to Store 2 + Total walking distance from Store 2 back to the car
Total round trip walking distance = 65 yards + 20 yards = 85 yards.
6. Choose the parking space closest to Store 1 within the parking lot.
- This will minimize the overall walking distance for the round trip.
Remember, this is just a hypothetical calculation based on the information you provided. In a real-world scenario, other factors such as parking lot layout, parking availability, and any other constraints should be considered to find the most convenient parking space.
