A coordinate grid is used to make a map of the park. The location of the drinking fountain is (-7, 3); the location of the bench is (2, 3); and the location of the center of the slide is (-7, -5). Plot these points

(Hint: You can use the “draw” menu to draw on the coordinate plane)

A. What is the distance from the center of the slide to the drinking fountain? Show your work.

B. What is the distance from the drinking fountain to the bench? Explain your reasoning.

C. What type of triangle is created by the three locations? Explain.

For A: The fountain is 4 spots away from the bench, and the bench is 3 spots away from the center of the slide. That is because on the coordinate grid the distance between one point to the other for the fountain is -4 for x and for the bench it is 0 for the x, that means it is 4 spots away from the fountain. And the bench is on 2 for the y coordinate and the center of the slide is 5 for the y coordinate.

For B: The triangle created is a right triangle. That is because if you put a line between each point on a coordinate grid it makes a right triangle.
