Mark is playing baseball after school. He wants to find the total distance he will need to ride his bike from school to the park, where his game will be played. Find the distance Mark will ride to the park from school. Leave your answer in simplest radical form if necessary.√132√556

Question
Answer:
Use the distance formula (derived from Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]d = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(10 - 8)}^{2} + {(11 - 7)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(2)}^{2} + {(4)}^{2} } = \sqrt{4 + 16} \\ d = \sqrt{20} [/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{5} = 2 \sqrt{5} [/tex]
