Help!!! The group wants to travel from its current location on the map to the South Pole, and then directly back to the base camp.
How many miles will they have to travel? Explain your answer.

90 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

65 + 25

5x5

144+25=13x13

13x5=65

The group will have to travel 90 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, the group would need to travel 5 grid units to reach the South Pole, and as each unit equals 5 miles, that would be 25 miles to the South Pole. Then, to calculate the distance towards the base camp, you use the Pythagorean theorem. A squared + B squared = C squared, or with the numbers, 5 squared + 12 squared = C squared. By this equation, C = 13. 13 units from the South Pole to the base camp, each unit being 5 miles, comes out to 65 miles. The entire trip, 25 miles + 65 miles, comes to 90 miles.

answer: (3,11) is your answer.
