Question

2. A student walks 3 blocks East, 2 blocks North, 1 block West, and then 2 blocks

South.
a) What is the total distance traveled?

Answer 1

8 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A student walks 3 blocks East, 2 blocks North, 1 block West, and then 2 blocks South.

We need to find the total distance traveled by the student. The distance covered by an object is equal to the sum of the total path covered. So,

Distance = 3 blocks + 2 blocks + 1 block + 2 blocks

= 8 blocks

So, the distance traveled by the block is 8 blocks.
