Explanation:

It is given that ruby is visiting San Francisco. From her hotel she walks:

(a) 1 block west and 4 blocks south to a coffee shop.

(b) Then she walks 5 blocks east and 6 blocks south to a museum.

First she moves 1 block west and 4 blocks south and reached at point B. After that she walks 5 blocks east and 6 blocks south and reached at point D.

From the below figure it is noticed that point D is 4 blocks east and 10 blocks south from the origin because

`South=4+6=10`

`East=5-1=4`

Therefore the museum is 4 blocks east and 10 blocks south from her hotel.
