-Use the information in Figure K.3. What is the Euclidean distance between offices A and C?
A) less than or equal to 25 feet 
B) greater than 25 but less than or equal to 45 feet 
C) greater than 45 but less than or equal to 65 feet 
D) greater than 65 feet

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the distance between office A and C as follows:
Distance = √(15² + 50²) = 52.2 feet 
Therefore, the distance between offices A and C is greater than 45 but less than or equal to 65 feet, so the correct choice is C.
