The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 villages.
- Zara travels from Village H to Village J and then to Village L. Find the distance she has travelled in metres.
- The cost of petrol consumption for every km travelled is 75 cents. Find the cost of the petrol consumption to travel from Village J to Village K.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Village H to Village L. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Zara has travelled
= 12.8 + 13.2
= 26 km
1 km = 1000 m
26 km = 26000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Village J to Village K
= 2.04 x 0.75
= $1.53
(c)
Distance to travel from Village H to Village L via Village J
= 13.3 + 8.5
= 21.8 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Village H to Village L via Village K
= 12.8 + 13.2
= 26 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Village H to Village L = 21 km 800 m
Answer(s): (a) 26000 m; (b) $1.53; (c) 21 km 800 m
