Question

What is the total distance of a student who walks 5 blocks west, 5 blocks north, 6 blocks east, and then 5 blocks south?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The student walks;

5 blocks west;

5 blocks north

6 blocks east

Distance = 5 blocks + 5 blocks + 6 blocks + 5 blocks = 21 blocks

The total distance travel by the student is 21 blocks.
