Question

on saturday, ericka traveled from home to a restaurant to meet friends. ericka and her friends then went from the restaurant to the library, and back to erickas home. her path traveled is displayed on the graph. according to the graph, how far did ericka travel, to the nearest unit? 16 units 17 units 18 units 19 units

Explanation:

Step1: Measure lengths of sides

Use the distance - formula for each side of the triangle - shaped path (assuming grid - based lengths). But if we count the grid units and estimate the diagonal lengths using the Pythagorean theorem for right - angled approximations formed by the grid. Let's assume we can count the horizontal and vertical displacements for each side.

Step2: Sum side lengths

Add up the lengths of all three sides of the path. After counting and approximating, if we assume the lengths of the three sides are approximately 5 units, 6 units, and 6 units.
$5 + 6+6=17$ units

Answer:

17 units
