In Flight Control Math 3 (Using the Distance Formula and Speed Formulas), students learn about air metro systems through this real-world math exercise. Students plot and connect points representing stations in an air metro system. They then calculate the distance between points and use the speed formula to determine how long it takes to fly between points.
