A robot is programmed to navigate through a maze while sending video signals back to the

programmer's laptop. The maximum range for the signal is 8 km. The robot is programmed to treat
the origin on the grid shown below as its starting point. The robot is programmed to align the
positive y-axis as north. The robot moves 3 km east, then begins traveling south. What is its bearing
when it reaches its maximum range? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer: 6 1/2 km

Step-by-step explanation: If a robot is programmed to navigate through a maze while sending video signals back to the programmer's laptop, 3 km east is 1 1/2 away from the programmer then it can move 6 1/2 km.
