Answer:
Option (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of the point representing the location of Miya → (1, 10)
Coordinates of the point representing the location of Drea → (13, 1)
Coordinates of the point representing the location of Francine → (16, 1)
Coordinates of the point representing the location of Beach → (19, 4)
Distance between Miya and Drea = [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(13-1)^2+(1-10)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{144+81}[/tex]
= 15 miles
Distance between Drea and Francine = [tex]\sqrt{(16-13)^2+(1-1)^2}[/tex]
= 3 miles
Distance between Francine and Beach = [tex]\sqrt{(19-16)^2+(4-1)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{9+9}[/tex]
≈ 4.2 miles
Total distance between Miya and the beach = 15 + 3 + 4.2
= 22.2 miles
Option (C) is the answer.
