Question
Mrs. Robinson is teaching a 5th grade class. She is standing 9.4 meters in front of Bryant. Russell is sitting to Bryant's right. If Russell and Mrs. Robinson are 10 meters apart, how far apart are Bryant and Russell? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Solution
Given that Mrs. Robinson is 9.4 meters in front of Bryant and Russell is 10 meters away from Mrs. Robinson, we can use the properties of a straight line to find the distance between Bryant and Russell.
Since Russell is further away from Mrs. Robinson than Bryant is, the distance between Bryant and Russell is the difference between the distance from Russell to Mrs. Robinson and the distance from Bryant to Mrs. Robinson.
So, we subtract the distance from Bryant to Mrs. Robinson from the distance from Russell to Mrs. Robinson:
10 meters (Russell to Mrs. Robinson) - 9.4 meters (Bryant to Mrs. Robinson) = 0.6 meters
Therefore, Bryant and Russell are 0.6 meters apart.
