B Euclid's chief of police is planning emergency routes. She needs to find the shortest route between the following pairs of locations:
Pair 1: the police station to City Hall
Pair 2: the hospital to City Hall
Pair 3: the hospital to the art museum
1. Give precise directions for an emergency car route for each pair.
2. For each pair, find the total distance in blocks a police car following
your route would travel.
С
1. The stadium is at (-2,3) and the high school is at (1,8). What is the
shortest driving distance (in blocks) between these two locations? Can
you figure this out without looking at the grid? Explain.
2. Suppose you know the coordinates of two landmarks in Euclid.
How can you determine the shortest driving distance (in blocks)
between them?
D
1. A helicopter can travel directly from one point to another. For each
pair in Question B, find the approximate distance (in blocks) a
helicopter would have to travel to get from the starting location to the
ending location. You may find it helpful to use a centimeter ruler.
