The distance between two points is the number of units between them
The distance between the oak tree and the maple tree is 9 yards
How to determine the distance?
From the diagram, we have the following highlights:
- The distance between the maple tree and the end is [tex]28\frac 26[/tex] yards
- The distance between the oak tree and the end is [tex]11\frac 36 + 7\frac 56[/tex] yards
The distance (d) between the oak tree and the maple tree is the difference between the above measurements.
So, we have:
[tex]d = 28\frac 26 - (11\frac 36 + 7\frac 56)[/tex]
Simplify the expression in the bracket
[tex]d = 28\frac 26 - (19\frac 26)[/tex]
Subtract
[tex]d = 9[/tex]
Hence, the distance between the oak tree and the maple tree is 9 yards
