Using the pythagorean theorem for each leg to the trip will give you the distances for each leg

d=√(dy^2+dx^2) so in order...

d1=√(9+1)=√10

d2=√(4+64)=√64

d3=√(49+1)=√50

d4=√(36+64)=√100 (note I combined the the grocery to bakery to home into one straight line)

so for c)

d=√10+√64+√50+√100 blocks

d≈28.23 blocks (to nearest one-hundredth of a block)

d)

If each block is 1/8 mile then the distance in miles for all of her errands is:

(0.125)28.23≈3.53 miles
