The distance they finishes is 8.6 miles
Given that miles run by Joni is 5 miles and the miles ran by Lori is 7 miles
We need to find the distance they finished
To calculate the total distance along the diagonal line, the Distance Formula first squares the differences between the two x coordinates and the two y coordinates, then adds those squares, and finally calculates their square root.
We know that
According to the Distance formula
= [tex]\sqrt{(5)2+(7)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{25+49}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{74}[/tex]
= 8.6 miles
Therefore the distance finished is 8.6 miles
