The local pizza restaurant offers free delivery if you live within a 6-mile radius of the restaurant. The restaurant is located at the origin. Ada’s house is 4 miles west and 5 miles north of the restaurant at point (–4, 5). Does Ada’s house lie on or within the circle representing the area that gets free delivery?

a. No, the distance from the restaurant to Ada’s house is miles, which is greater than the 6-mile maximum radius.
b. Yes, the distance from the restaurant to Ada’s house is exactly 6 miles.
c. No, the distance from the restaurant to Ada’s house is 7 miles, which is greater than the 6-mile maximum radius.
d. Yes, the distance from the restaurant to Ada’s house is miles, which is less than the needed 6-mile radius.

Using the distance between two points, it is found that the correct option regarding whether Ada’s house lie on or within the circle representing the area that gets free delivery is given by:

a. No, the distance from the restaurant to Ada’s house is [tex]\sqrt{41}[/tex] miles, which is greater than the 6-mile maximum radius.

What is the distance between two points?

Suppose that we have two points, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. The distance between them is given by:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

In this problem, we want to find the distance between the restaurant at the origin (0,0) and Ada's house at point (-4,5), hence:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(5 - 0)^2 + (-4 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{41} > 6[/tex]

Greater than 6 miles, hence option a is correct.
