Question

A trip is taken that passes through the following points in order

A(0m)
B(15m)
C(-30m)
D(-20m)
E(10m)
F(5m)
What is the distance from point B to point E

Answer 1

85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the distance travelled from point B to point E, we need to add all the distances covered during the parts of the trip between B and E. So we have:

- From B to C:

`d=|-30-(15)|=45 m`

- From C to D:

`d=|-20-(30)|=10 m`

- From D to E:

`d=|10-(-20)|=30 m`

So, the distance travelled from B to E is

d = 45 m + 10 m + 30 m = 85 m
