Question 1085405: Johnny starts his hike at his car site. He will take a break halfway between the car site and the campsite and then head on to the campsite. Use the diagram below to answer the questions.
(a graph of a coordinate plane. the max number for x is 13 and max number for y is 11. a dot that represents the car is on (2, 4) the dot to represent the campsite is at (13, 7)
A. What are the coordinate’s of the rest stop?
B. How many units did Johnny travel to get to the campsite?
C. If each unit represents 3.5 meters, how many meters from the car to the campsite?
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Half way is half the sum of the x coordinates and half the sum of the y-coordinates (midpoint formula)
That is at (7.5, 5.5)
That is sqrt (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)=sqrt (11^2+3^2)=sqrt(130)
The number is sqrt(130)*3.5=39.91 meters by units given.
