The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 offices.
- Linda travels from Office X to Office Y and then to Office A. 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 Office Y to Office Z.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Office X to Office A. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Linda has travelled
= 13.6 + 16.4
= 30 km
1 km = 1000 m
30 km = 30000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Office Y to Office Z
= 3.86 x 0.50
= $1.93
(c)
Distance to travel from Office X to Office A via Office Y
= 15.7 + 6.1
= 21.8 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Office X to Office A via Office Z
= 13.6 + 16.4
= 30 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Office X to Office A = 21 km 800 m
Answer(s): (a) 30000 m; (b) $1.93; (c) 21 km 800 m
