Devin’s friend ryan lives 2 blocks west and 5 blocks south of devin. devin’s friend andy lives 7 blocks east and 2 block north of devin. how far do ryan and andy live from each other? a. 16 blocks b. 12.7 blocks c. 11.4 blocks d. 13.1 blocks

Ryan and Andy live 11.4 blocks from each other.

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Devin’s friend Ryan lives 2 blocks west and 5 blocks south of Devin.

Position of Ryan on coordinate system:

2 blocks west (2 unit left from origin) = -2

5 blocks south (5 unit down) = -5

Coordinate of Ryan: (-2,-5)

Devin’s friend Andy lives 7 blocks east and 2 block north of Devin.

Position of Andy on coordinate system:

7 blocks east (7 unit right ) = 7

2 block north (2 unit up) = 2

Coordinate of Andy: (7,2)

We need to find the distance of Ryan and Andy.

Using distance formula to find distance of Ryan and Andy

Hence, Ryan and Andy live 11.4 blocks from each other.

a = 11 : 4

b = 38

c = 1 for every 6
