Streets run from east to west and avenues run from
north to south.
The distance between streets is around 80 m and the
distance between avenues is around 260 m, as shown
below.
Point X is at the centre of the junction of 15th Street
and 7th Avenue.
Point Y is at the centre of the junction of 21st Street and
4th Avenue.
Using the information above,
a) calculate the straight-line distance between point X
and point Y.
b) calculate the shortest distance along the roads to get
from point X to point Y.
Give your answers to the nearest metre.

Answer:

8(80 m) = 640 m, 3(260 m) = 780 m

a) √((640 m)² + (780 m)²) = √(1,018,000 m)²

= 20√2,545 m about 1,008.96 m

= about 1.009 km

b) 640 m + 780 m = 1,420 m = 1.42 km
