Answer:

16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

1 unit = 3 miles

High School = (2, 4)

Stadium = (7, 6)

Approximate distance between high school and stadium :

Distance between High school and Stadium

x1 = 2 ; y1= 4 ; x2 = 7 ; y2 = 6

Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Distance = sqrt((7 - 2)^2 + (6 - 4)^2)

Distance = sqrt((5^2 + 2^2))

Distance = sqrt(25 + 4)

Distance =5.3851648 units

1 unit = 3 miles

Approximate Distance in miles :

3 * 5.3851648 = 16.155494

Approximate distance = 16 miles
