Mr. Brady is using a coordinate plane to design a treasure hunt for his students. The hunt begins at the flagpole. The first clue is hidden 5 units north of the flagpole. The second clue is located 6 units east of the flagpole. Clue 2 says that Clue 3 is located 5 units south of the flagpole.
Plot the locations of the flagpole and the 3 clues on the coordinate grid and show the path students will follow with straight lines.
Each unit represents 50 feet. What is the shortest combined distance along the path from the flagpole to Clue 1 to Clue 2 to Clue 3? Round to the nearest foot if necessary.
Two cars leave a house in Richmond. The first car travels 8 miles north and then 6 miles east. The second car travels 12 miles south and then 9 miles west. Determine if each statement is true or false.
