Park is 200 m east of office. Hospital is 200 m north of park. Distance from office to hospital?
A200 m in the standard view
B400 m
Cabout 283 m
D500 m
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. about 283 m
1. Treat office as origin (0, 0).
2. Park is at (200, 0); hospital at (200, 200).
3. Distance from office to hospital = sqrt(200^2 + 200^2).
4. = sqrt(80000) = 200 * sqrt(2).
5. = about 282.8 m.
6. So about 283 m.
