Performance task A parade route must start And and at the intersections shown on the map. The city requires that the total distance of the route cannot exceed 3 miles. A propos route is shown.

  A: the proposed route is 3.09 miles, so exceeds the city's limit

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the route in grid squares can be found using the Pythagorean theorem on the two parts of the route. Let 'a' represent the length of the route to the park from the start, and 'b' represent the route length from the park to the finish. Then we have (in grid squares) ...

  a^2 = (12-6)^2 +3^2 = 45

  a = √45 = 3√5

and

  b^2 = (6 -2)^2 +4^2 = 32

  b = √32 = 4√2

Then the total length, in grid squares, is ...

  3√5 + 4√2 = 6.7082 +5.6569 = 12.3651

If each grid square is 1/4 mile, then 12.3651 grid squares is about ...

  (12.3651 squares) · (1/4 mile/square) = 3.0913 miles

The proposed route is too long by 0.09 miles.
