You can put this solution on YOUR website! The map coordinates of a campground are (1,4) and the coordinates of the fishing pier are (4,7). Each unit on the map represents one kilometer. If Alejandro walks in a straight line from the campground to the pier, how many kilometer, to the nearest tent, will he walk?
--------------------------
distance = sqrt[(7-4)^2 + (4-1)^2] = sqrt[9 + 9] = sqrt(18) = 3sqrt(2) km
