Your first job is to plot two possible paths from South Base to North Base. Please create two possible paths on the graph below. Path one should be your team moving North (Up) and West (Left.) Path two should be your team moving diagonal from South Base to North Base.
*Note: In real life, each space you move on the graph is 1000 meters.
According to the graph from part 1, which path is shorter and how do you know that path is shorter? Remember to include your units of measurement.
When you compare path one to path two, how much shorter is the shorter of the two paths? Remember to include your units of measurement.
If your team consumes 1,000 calories every 1000 meters you travel, how many calories will you need if you take path 1?
If your team consumes 1,000 calories every 1000 meters you travel, how many calories will your team need if they take path 2?
