Use the figure below for Exercises 49 and 50. Your home is at point H. Your friend lives at point F, the midpoint of Elm Street. Elm Street intersects Beech Street and Maple Street at their midpoints.

A triangle is formed between Home, Library, and School.
Image Long Description

  1. Your friend walks to school by going east on Elm and then turning right on Maple. How far in miles does she walk?
  2. You walk your dog along this route: Walk from home to Elm along Maple. Walk west on Elm to Beech, south on Beech to the library, and east on Oak to school. Then walk back home along Maple. How far in miles do you walk?
