You can map these locations to Cartesian coordinates.
Eric = (-1, 4)
Scott = (3, -6)
The x distance is 4, the y distance is 10
x2 + y2 = 116, and the square root is about 10.77 miles

Bob and Kim are driving their cars toward the same store Bob is 3 miles north and 4 miles east of the store and Kim is 2 miles south and 2 miles west of the store How far apart are they?
7.81 milesSetting the store as the origin (0,0), Bob is at (3, 4) and Kim is at (-2, -2)The distances are 5 and 6, respectively, and the diagonal or straight line distance issqrt (x2 + y2) = sqrt (25 + 36) = sqrt (61) or about 7.81 miles

Dan and Susanne are best friends Susanne lives 3 miles west and 4 miles north of a park Dan lives 2 miles east and 5 miles south of the same park How far apart do they live from each other?
To get the correct answer of 10.3 miles, you can map these to Cartesian coordinates, where Susanne lives at (-3,4) and Dan lives at (2, -5).The distances are 5 (E-W, or x) and 9 (N-S, or y)D = sqrt (x2 + y2) = sqrt (25+ 81) = sqrt 106 = 10.3If they did not live in diagonal quadrants, the distance is less than their combined distances from the park.
