SIGHTSEEING

You and a friend are sightseeing in Washington, D.C. You are at the National Gallery of Art, and your friend is at the Washington Monument, as shown on the map. You want to meet at the landmark that is closest to the midpoint of your locations. At which landmark should you meet?

EXAMPLE 4 Solve a real-world problem

SOLUTION

Your coordinates are (11, 3), and your friend’s coordinates are (2, 2). First, find the midpoint of your locations, which is

x1 + x2 y1 + y2

2 2( ), ( ) 11 + 2 3 + 2

,= = (6.5, 2.5).

Next, find the distance from the midpoint to the Smithsonian Institution, located at (7, 1), and to the Natural History Museum, located at (7, 3).

EXAMPLE 4 Solve a real-world problem

ANSWER

You should meet at the Natural History Museum.

Distance to Smithsonian Institution:

d =

(6.5 – 7)2 + (2.5 – 1)2

1.58 units

Distance to Natural History Museum:

0.71 unit(6.5 – 7)2 + (2.5 – 3)2d =
