Two horses are ready to return to their barn after a long workout session at the track. the horses are at coordinates h(1,10)
Question:
Answers
The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:
d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = 19.4165
Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = 16.4012
Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters
Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.

Horse Z is closer to the barn.
(The conversion to meters is not required; the question does not ask for actual distances, so "units" is OK.)
H(1,10) Z(10,1) B(-3,-9)
1st Calculate the distance H(horse) H to B(barn)
2nd Calculate the distance Z(horse) H to B(barn)
3rd Compare
1st distance H(horse) H to B(barn)
HB = √[(x₂-x₂)²+(y₂-y₁)₂] → √[-3-1)² + (-9-10)²]=√377 = 19.42
2nd distance ZB = √[(-3-10)²+(-9-1)²] = √269 = 16.4
HB in meter =19.42 x 100 = 1,942 m
ZB in meter = 16.4 x 100 = 1,640 m
Obviously HB > ZB and Z is closer to the Barn
Horse at Z (1640.1m from barn)
To answer this question you need to determine each horse distance to their barn. For horse H the distance would be
X: 1-(-3)= 4
Y: 10-(-9)= 19
If you use Pythagoras theory then the distance would be
BH^2= 4^2 + 19^2
BH^2= 377
BH= 19.416
Horse H is 1941.6m from the barn
For horse Z the distance would be:
X: 10- (-3)= 13
Y: 1-(-9)= 10
BZ^2 = 13^2 + 10^2
BZ^2 = 269
BZ= 16.401
Horse Z is 1640.1m from barn, a bit closer than horse H
The given coordinates are
Barn, B (-3,-9),
Horse H: (1, 10),
Horse Z: (10, 1).
Each unit on the coordinate plane represents 100 m.
Note that the distance between two coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]
The distance between horse H and the barn is
[tex]d_{H} = \sqrt{(1+3)^{2} + (10+9)^2} =19.4165[/tex]
That is, 1941.64 m = 1.94 km (nearest hundredth).
The distance between horse Z and the barn is
[tex]d_{Z} = \sqrt{(10+3)^{2} + (1+9)^{2}} =16.4012[/tex]
That is, 1640.12 m = 1.64 km (nearest hundredth)
Horse Z is closer to the barn.
The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:
d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = 19.4165
Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = 16.4012
Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters
Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.
