Question

a lizard ran 3 meters from his rock to his friend's house. he ran back halfway and stopped. what is his distance traveled

Answer 1

4.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is the total length of path traveled or covered by a body.

So distance is a scalar quantity, it only has magnitude but no direction.

Therefore:

Total distance = 3 m +
`(1)/(2)`(3)

So;

3 + 1.5 = 4.5m

Total distance covered 4.5m by the body.
