The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 houses.
- Abi travels from House F to House G and then to House J. Find the distance she has travelled in metres.
- The cost of petrol consumption for every km travelled is 50 cents. Find the cost of the petrol consumption to travel from House G to House H.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from House F to House J. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Abi has travelled
= 10.8 + 15.2
= 26 km
1 km = 1000 m
26 km = 26000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from House G to House H
= 2.16 x 0.50
= $1.08
(c)
Distance to travel from House F to House J via House G
= 14.8 + 9.9
= 24.7 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from House F to House J via House H
= 10.8 + 15.2
= 26 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from House F to House J = 24 km 700 m
Answer(s): (a) 26000 m; (b) $1.08; (c) 24 km 700 m
