Question 181772This question is from textbook saxon algebra 2
: A cartographer constructs a map of Georgia over a grid system such that
Macon is at (100, 25) and Atlanta is at (175, 125). Find the distance between
the cities to the nearest kilometer if each unit represents one kilometer.
I worked it out: d=square root (75-100)^2 + (125-25)^2
d=square root (75)^2 + (100)^2
d=square root 5,625+10,000=?

I know the answer is more than just adding the numbers together.
What am I missing? This question is from textbook saxon algebra 2

After you add the numbers together, you have to take the square root of the sum.



Use your calculator and round off to the nearest whole number.
