Challenge #70: Trade Area Drivetime Radii

Solution attached and screenshot below in spoiler. It's a proxy for the real solution because I don't have access to drivetime data.

My solution. Didn't know the spatial functions within the Summarize tool. Had another solution before:

Also did not have the spatial data so went with miles.

For some reason, my total square miles (48) is way higher than everyone else's (15) even after I validated tools and process with the solution.  My tools are configured exactly the same, but I get more square miles.

My solution attached.

I don't have the drivetime package so instead I calculated the challenge using 10 mile radius instead of 30 minute drivetime radius.

Since not Drive Time Data, use Distance, 30 minutes approximately 11.5 miles by comparing result.

I don't get to work with spatial data at work, so this was my first time using Spatial Tools. I created the points and the trade area pretty easily. I also had to use miles instead of drive time. Because I live in rural Nevada, I decided to use the average driving speed of rural Nevada which was 30 mph to assume that 30 minutes of driving would result in driving 15 miles. After this, I tried using the Spatial Process tool to only return the intersection object, but I kept getting errors because I only had one spatial object field instead of two. Accepting defeat, I then had to look at everyone's spoilers and found out that the Summarize tool also creates intersection objects and was much simpler to use. Thank you everyone for submitting solutions that I could get hints from. I definitely need to keep practicing with Spatial tools.
