Question: The bottom left corner of a rectangular lake is placed or assumed to be at the Origin O of an x-y coordinates system. The sides

The bottom left corner of a rectangular lake is placed or assumed to be at the Origin O of an x-y coordinates system. The sides of the lake are x = 12.0 miles and y = 5.00 miles. The goal is to go directly from the bottom left corner (Point O) to the top right corner (Point A) via a boat along Vector OA. In going straight, along the diagonal, from O to A by the boat, the actual displacement is Question options: neither of the other answers is correct. 12.0 mi + 5.00 mi = 17.0 mi that is the actual distance traveled. 13.0 miles found by using the Pythagorean Theorem
