Jacob walked 3 blocks to Ping's house, then 5 blocks to Jamal's house.

Question

Write a sentence to show that the distance from Ping's to Jamal's is the same as the return walk home. Write the sentence and name the property used.

Answer 1

Since the distance from Ping's house to Jamal's house is 5 blocks, and its distance which is the same as the return walk home is then 5 blocks.  The three properties of Jacob's house, Ping's, Jamal's have two same distance of 5 blocks, and one short distance of 3 blocks. That forms a isosceles triangle with two same sides.
