Question

You are in the search of Hand of Midas. It is available in the fortress that resides on the sea turtle. The two ends of the sea turtle is plotted on the graph. Which of the following gives the length of the sea turtle?

• A. 5 units
• B. 6 units
• C. 7 units
• D. 8 units

Answer 1

The correct option is C 7 units

The coordinates of point A is (-7, -5)

The coordinates of point B is (0, -5)

The points are in same quadrant. They have same y-coordinates and different x-coordinates.

The distance between the points is the difference of the absolute value of the coordinates that are different.
= |-7| - 0 = 7

Hence, the length of the turtle is 7 units.
