Coordinate Geometry Problem
On the map, move the Library (Point A) so it is located at (-2, 2).
Move the City Hall Building (Point B) so it is located at (0, 2), and the High School (Point C) so it is located at (0, 0). The locations are now represented as points on a coordinate grid with a unit of 1 mile.
a) What is the distance from the library to the city hall building? The distance from the city hall building to the high school? How do you know?
b) What shape is formed by connecting the three locations? The city council is planning to place a city park in this area. How large is the area of the planned park?
