The distance from Platform B to Platform C is 26.926 units
The given parameters are;
The zip-line course distance from platform A to platform F is given;
On the given graph of the path of travel we have;
Coordinates of the point B = (-25, -20) and the coordinates of the point C = (-15, 5).
What is the distance formula?
The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula
[tex]l=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]
Therefore, the distance between B and C is found by substituting (-25, -20) = (x₁, y₁) and (-15, 5) = (x₂, y₂)
Which gives
[tex]l=\sqrt{(5-(-20))^2}+((-15)-(-25))^2\\l=26.926 units[/tex]
The distance from points B to C = 26.926 units. The distance from Platform B to Platform C is 26.926 units.
