Answer:
116 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-41,3)[/tex] --- Camp 1
[tex](x_2,y_2) = (75,3)[/tex] --- Camp 2
Required
The distance between both camps
This is calculated using:
[tex]d^2 = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d^2 = \sqrt{(-41-75)^2 + (3-3)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d^2 = \sqrt{(-116)^2 + (0)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d^2 = \sqrt{116^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = 116[/tex]
The distance is 116 miles
