Me ; -; ! use a coordinate grid to create a map of a town with at least five different locations, such as a house, a post office, a school, a library, and a mall. each location must be plotted where two grid lines cross. in addition, no two locations can lie on the same vertical grid line or the same horizontal grid line. a sample town map has been provided for your reference.

a. post your diagram.
b. use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between two of your locations.
c. look at another student’s map and find the distance between two of the locations on that map. post your answer to the other student’s post.
d. respond to replies to your own post and check the math

A. Our diagram have six location: my house (2,1), a movie theater (5,3), the school (6,6), the police station (3,-2), the airport (-3,3), and the mall (-2,-3)

B. Distance between my house and the movie theater:
To calculate the distance we are going to use the points (2,1) and (5,3) to create a right triangle with tow legs of measures 3 and 2; the hypotenuse of the right triangle will be the distance between my house and the movie theater.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:




We can conclude that the distance between my house and the movie theater is 

Our second distance is the distance between the police station and the airport:
This time we are using the points (3,-2) and (-3,3) to create a right triangle with legs of measures 6 and 5; the hypotenuse of our triangle will be the the distance between our points:




We can conclude that the distance between the police station and the airport is 

C. Distance form the park to the Fire Station:




We can conclude that the distance from the park to the Fire Station is 

Distance from the stadium to the mall:




We can conclude that the distance from the stadium to the mall is 

D. What is the distance between your house and the mall?






We can conclude that the distance between my house and the mall is 

What is the distance between the movie theater and the school?





We can conclude that the distance between the movie theater and the school is
