1.1+Driving+Around+Euclid

Sneha M. __ **Big Idea:The dimension of a right triangle can be made with limited information. ** __  Essential Question: How can I calculate distances on a grid Notes: coordinate pairs- x always comes before Y. **Problem 1.1 ** A. These are the coordinates of each landmark on the map. 1. A car would have to travel 9 blocks to get from the hospital to the cemetery. 2. A car would have to travel 4 blocks to get from the city hall to the police station. 3. A car would have to travel 3 blocks to get from the art museum to the gas station. C. I found my answer by finding the difference between the x -value and the y-value. **Problem 1.1 Follow Up ** 1. No, Chloe cannot find the ice-cream shop based on this information because she doesn't know if it was three blocks to the north, south,west or east. 2. The library might be any where. Because it doesn't say where it is located. Because it can be in any direction,north,south,west or east. 3. These are the road names-
 * 3 October, 2008**
 * A. Give the coordinates of each labeled landmark on the map.**
 * The stadium is located at (-2,3).
 * The gas station is located at (4,4).
 * The art museum is located at (6,1).
 * The green house is located at (-6,0).
 * The city hall is located at the origin(0,0).
 * The animal shelter is located at(-6,-2).
 * The Hospital is located at(-6,-4).
 * The police station is at (0,-4).
 * The cemetery is located at (3,-4).
 * B. 1. How many blocks would a car have to travel to get from the hospital to the**
 * cemetery?**
 * 2. How many blocks would a car have to travel to get from the City Hall to the**
 * Police station?**
 * 3. How many blocks would a car have to travel to get from the art museum to**
 * the gas station?**
 * C. How can you tell the distance in blocks between two points if you know the**
 * coordinates of the points?**
 * 1. Chloe is at the City Hall. She asks a police officer where the Corner Ice-Cream**
 * Shop is, and he replies, “It's three blocks from here.” Can Chloe find the ice-**
 * cream shop based on these directions? Where might the ice-cream shop be located?**
 * 2. The library is located at an intersection that is the same number of blocks from the**
 * stadium as the animal shelter is from the art museum. Where might the library be**
 * located?**
 * 3. Each street in Euclid is named with its equation. For example, the animal shelter is**
 * located on the corner of X =6 street and Y = -2 street. For each labeled landmark on**
 * the map, give the names of the two streets that intersect at that location.**
 * Gas station - Street X=4 and Y=4 Street.
 * Stadium - Street X= -2 and Y=3 Street.
 * Art Museum - Street X=6 and Y=1 Street.
 * City Hall - Street X=0 and Y=0 Street.
 * Greenhouse - Street X=-6 and Y=0 Street.
 * Animal Shelter - Street X= 6 and Y= -2 Street.
 * Hospital - Street X= -6 and Y= -4 Street.
 * Police Station - Street X= 0 and Y= -4 Street.
