Suppose each block is 300 ft long. Suppose I could fly and walk through people’s houses and yards so that I could travel a straight line from my house to the library. What distance would I travel?

Answer:
1615.55 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates for house (300,300)
Library coordinate =(1800, 900)
Distance between two points :
D = sqrt[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
D = sqrt[(1800 - 300)² + (900 - 300)²
D = sqrt[(2250000 + 360000)]
D = sqrt[(2610000)]
D = 1615.5494
D = 1615.55 ft
