Question 1

Solve It! This map of part of a college campus shows a square "quad" area with walking paths. The distance from the dorm to the dining hall is 150 yd. Suppose you go from your dorm to the dining hall, to the science lab, to your dorm, to the student center, to the library, and finally back to your dorm. To the nearest tenth, how far do you walk? (Assume you always take the most direct route and stay on the paths.)
