Q. The image shows the distances in kilometers between three cities.How much closer is it to travel from Aurora to Clifton directly than from Aurora to Clifton through Burlington?□ kilometersShow Calculator
Calculate Total Distance: First, let's find the distance from Aurora to Clifton through Burlington. We add the distance from Aurora to Burlington and the distance from Burlington to Clifton.
Find Distance through Burlington: Assuming the distance from Aurora to Burlington is A kilometers and from Burlington to Clifton is B kilometers, the total distance through Burlington is A+B kilometers.
Calculate Direct Distance: Now, let's find the direct distance from Aurora to Clifton, which is given as C kilometers.
Find Difference in Distances: To find out how much closer the direct route is, we subtract the direct distance C from the total distance through Burlington (A+B).
Final Calculation: The calculation is (A+B)−C kilometers.
