A map of three public schools was created using a coordinate plane where the origin represents the center of the town. Euclid Elementary School is graphed at (−4, 3), Math Middle School is graphed at (3, 3), and Hypotenuse High School is graphed at (−4, −2). Each unit on the graph represents 1 mile.
Part A: Find the shortest distance, in miles, from Euclid Elementary School to Math Middle School? Show every step of your work.
Part B: Find the shortest distance, in miles, from Euclid Elementary School to Hypotenuse High School? Show every step of your work.
Part C: Find the shortest distance, in miles, from Math Middle School to Hypotenuse High School? Show every step of your work.
Part D: Javi traveled from Hypotenuse High to Euclid Elementary and then to Math Middle. Braylen traveled from Hypotenuse High to Math Middle along a straight path. Who went the shortest distance? Explain.
