A movie theater is 10 blocks north and 5 blocks east of a post office. A mall is 7 blocks north and 9 blocks east of the post office. The location of each place is shown on the coordinate plane.

The complete question required that we determine how far is the movie theater to the mall.

Distance between the movie theatre and the mall

According to the question;

  • Upon representation of the movie theatre and mall position on the coordinate plane relative to the post office; we have;

  • Movie theater, T = (5, 10)
  • Mall, M = (9, 7).

The distance between the two points can therefore be evaluated by Pythagoras theorem as follows;

Distance, D² = (9-5)² + (7-10)²

  • D² = 4² + (-3)²

  • D² = 16 + 9

  • D² = 25

  • D = √25 = 5 blocks.

Ultimately, the movie theater is 5 blocks away from the mall.
