Standard(s):
Lisa and Kara go to the same school. After school, they plan to walk to the store. The location of the store and the school are plotted on the coordinate grid.
Lisa says, “I think we should walk 6 blocks north and 5 blocks west to get to the store.”
Kara says, “No, I think it's shorter if we walk 3 blocks west, 4 blocks north, 2 blocks west, and then 2 more blocks north.”
Whose route is the shortest?
Lisa, because her route is the most direct from the school to the store.
Kara, because her route takes short cuts from the school to the store.
Both Lisa and Kara, because each of their routes are the same distance.
Neither Lisa nor Kara, because their routes do not end with them arriving at the store.
