Finding the Distance between Two Locations
Let’s return to the situation introduced at the beginning of this section.
Tracie set out from Elmhurst, IL, to go to Franklin Park. On the way, she made a few stops to do errands. Each stop is indicated by a red dot in the figure. Find the total distance that Tracie traveled. Compare this with the distance between her starting and final positions.
Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
