Britney:
School to Mall is 10 units
Mall to Library is 24 units
In total, 10 + 24 = 34, Britney traveled 34 units.
Alice:
School to Library is ___ units.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can find the distance
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 this is the formula
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2 square the 10 and 24
100 + 576 = c^2 add the two values
676 = c^2 square root both sides
26 = c
School to Library is 26 units.
34 - 26 = 8 units
Britney traveled 8 units more than Alice.
Just multiply the 8 units by how many miles there are in 1 unit and you will find your answer.
