The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 buildings.
- Kimberly travels from Building N to Building P and then to Building R. 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 Building P to Building Q.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Building N to Building R. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Kimberly has travelled
= 13.1 + 12.9
= 26 km
1 km = 1000 m
26 km = 26000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Building P to Building Q
= 2.58 x 0.50
= $1.29
(c)
Distance to travel from Building N to Building R via Building P
= 14.6 + 9.5
= 24.1 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Building N to Building R via Building Q
= 13.1 + 12.9
= 26 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Building N to Building R = 24 km 100 m
Answer(s): (a) 26000 m; (b) $1.29; (c) 24 km 100 m
