Answer:
the distance between the lawyer's home and her office is 124 miles
Explanation:
given information:
first lets assume that
x-axis (west = positive, east = negative)
y-axis (north = positive, south = negative)
thus,
distance of the house = (-88,18)
distance of the office = (13, -54)
thus, the distance between the lawyer's home and her office
R = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
= √(13 - (-88))² + (-54 -18)²
= 124 miles
