How to Solve: Worked Example

Example Problem: A park is at (2, 4) and a school is at (4, 4). Each grid unit is 1 km. How far apart are they?
Solution Steps:
  1. The y-coordinates match, so the distance is horizontal.
  2. Subtract the x-coordinates and take the absolute value.
Answer: 2 km
Tip: Check your result using the method in the example before moving to the next question.
