An airplane at t(80,20) needs to fly to both u(20,60) and v(110,85). what is the shortest possible distance for the trip? 165units 170units 97units 169 units is the answer a?

shortest distance = 165 units

This will be solved using distance formula between two coordinates.

The distance formula between two coordinates is given as;

d =

Point T has coordinate of T(80,20)

Distance to Point U(20,60) is;

TU =

TU =

TU ≈ 72 Units

Distance From Point U(20,60) to Point V(110,85);

UV =

UV =

UV ≈ 93 units

I didn't bother to calculate TV because we are looking for shortest distance for the trip and by inspection if he goes from T to V first before Point U, it will be a longer journey.

Thus, shortest distance =  TU + UV

shortest distance = 72 + 93 = 165 units

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

Step

Find the distance TU

substitute the values

Step

Find the distanceUV

substitute the values

Step

Sum the distances TU and UV

therefore

the answer is

the option 165 units

10 cm

step-by-step explanation:

if the polygon is a rectangle, then the perimeter is x+x+y+y. using the values that you gave, the perimeter is 3+3+2+2=10cm.
