Drew is using an online map application to plan a trip to visit his friend Jamar using the most direct route. On his return trip, he decides to visit his Aunt Kathy. He adds the stop at his
aunt's home by dragging and dropping the original trip so it now includes her place. How will this
return trip compare to his original trip? Why is this an application of the Triangle Inequality
Theorem?
