722 What is the direct distance between the park and the library on the map?

Direct distance is the straight-line measurement between two points, often referred to as “as-the-crow-flies” distance. It provides a quick way to assess how far apart two locations are without considering any obstacles or paths. On the other hand, indirect distance factors in the actual route taken, which might include roads, paths, or other geographical features that create a longer travel distance.

To find the direct distance between the park and the library on the map, you would typically use a ruler to measure the straight-line distance between the two points and then convert that measurement into the relevant scale used on the map (for example, if 1 inch equals 100 feet). This will give you the shortest distance without considering any possible routes or paths.
